Pick
Washington comes into this game off of a very thrilling win over Oregon, but this is definitely a tough spot for them to get up to play a team like Arizona State. ASU hasn’t defeated a FBS team yet this season, but they played USC, Cal, and Colorado tough. The Huskies do have the best passing attack in the country, but they do allow a good amount of passing yards on defense. I think Washington might come out a little slow in this game and I like Arizona State to keep it relatively close. Take the Sun Devils here.
