Long-time Syracuse assistant coach Mike Hopkins has brought a tricky zone defense to Washington. So it's not a fluke the defensive-minded Huskies have gone Under the total in 10 of their last 12 games.

I don't see any reason to not ride the Under in this game pitting the teams who rank first and second, respectively, in the Pac-12 in defensive efficiency.

Colorado struggles on the road and with committing too many turnovers. Washington was held to 40 points three games ago by Oregon and scored only 58 points at home against Utah in its last game.
