Utah State vs Washington Prediction
This could be a bit of a letdown spot for Washington after a rivalry game in the Apple Cup. However, we just saw Utah State struggle to score and lose to Idaho State as two-touchdown favorites. You can say it’s one game, but that’s about as low as it can get folks. Washington has to iron out some wrinkles on offense, but the defensive effort looks to be in regular-season form. It may be ugly at times, but the Huskies should run away with this one. I’ll lay the points with Washington at home.
