The Washington Huskies won last year's meeting with BYU 35-7 at home. I think they'll win by at least a touchdown here in Provo, Utah Saturday afternoon.

BYU is overrated by the bookmakers following back-to-back upset overtime wins over Tennessee and USC. We can note that it won those contests despite getting outgained in both games, and particularly its defense has struggled giving up 412.7 yards per contest.

The Huskies, on the other hand, have been solid on both sides of the ball, averaging 39.3 points and 456 yards per game on offense while giving up just 18 points and 324 yards per game on defense.

Washington is coming off a 52-20 rout of Hawaii after losing to Cal outright as a 13.5-point favorite the previous week. Even in the loss, they held the Golden Bears to only 300 yards of total offense and outgained them by 45 yards. Lesson learned, and they're unlikely to allow their next couple opponents to keep it close.

8* play on Washington Huskies.
