Colorado vs. Washington Betting Preview 12/02/16 – Pac 12 Odds & TV
Betting Preview
Colorado who has won six straight games face off against a Washington team with just one loss this season. One thing that both of these teams have in common is a loss to USC. Colorado’s other loss was to Michigan and the chance of them getting to play in the Championship round is a lot harder than Washington who if they win should make it.
Washington would seem to have the advantage at quarterback with Pac-12 offensive player of the year Jake Browning throwing for over 3100 yards and 40 touchdown passes compared to Sefo Liufau who has thrown for over 2100 yards but has thrown just 11 touchdowns. They match each other in yards per game with each averaging over 200 yards passing and rushing a game.
Their defenses are very similar in yards and points allowed with the Buffaloes giving up 18.8 points a game and Washington giving up 17.8.
The oddsmakers have made Washington a 7.5 point favorite with the total reaching 58. With that being said the public is split 50-50 when backing either team while 69% believe the offenses will rule the day and are behind the over.
The Huskies have won the last six meetings between these schools with just one game being won by less than seven points.
