Washington +13 2.2% play
Tough travel spot here for the Huskies, but this is a lot of points for a very good team. Washington’s biggest weakness is stopping the run, and Penn State should take advantage, but Penn State does not have much of a threat to throw the ball to receivers so I expect the Huskies to be able to do a better job at stopping the run this week. There is just too much brain power on the Huskies coaching staff to not be able to come up with something to keep this game close. Washington’s offense has proven they can move the ball against anyone, but they struggle to convert 3rd downs and in the red zone, but again 13 points with a low total, and two slower paced teams is just a lot. I have concerns with Penn State's defense anyway. Ohio State was able to run it down their throat to end the game, and the two teams they have faced in the top 70 in offense were able to move the ball and put up points, and one could argue USC should have beaten them. You could take this back to 2023 when they went 0-3 vs. 3 teams with an offensive pulse - Ohio St, Michigan, and Ole Miss.
