Can the Wildcats Cover Spread vs. Dominant Huskies?

00:02 - I think there's no doubt Washington wins this ball game.
00:05 They're averaging 469 yards through the air,
00:08 rushing for about 133 yards on the ground
00:10 and it's all Michael Pinnock's.
00:12 But I think this is a tough spot,
00:14 going on the road from the spread's perspective,
00:16 whether Jayden DeLauro plays or not,
00:19 this is still an offense that's averaging
00:21 274 passing yards per game,
00:23 very good in terms of the back end,
00:25 holding opposing offenses to 6.8 yards per pass attempt.
00:29 I think that's where maybe potentially
00:31 they can neutralize Pinnock's,
00:33 force him to work down the field.
00:35 The fact that the game is in Tucson, Kev,
00:37 I'm taking the points with the Arizona Wildcats,
00:40 plus the 19 and a half, I think they could be gutty.
00:43 I like Jed Fish in this spot
00:45 and as dominant as Washington has been,
00:47 they have forced turnovers in the last three games
00:50 within the first five minutes of every ball game
00:52 that really has built the momentum.
00:54 Give me Arizona plus the points,
00:56 could be a sneaky play tonight.
00:58 - So this is an interesting spot
01:00 because of the Oregon game on deck,
01:02 try and go through, all right, last year,
01:04 what did Washington do in a similar spot, big game on deck?
01:07 I would argue they didn't have this spot
01:09 on their schedule last year.
01:11 UW went and played UCLA, that was at the time,
01:14 an unranked Bruins squad.
01:15 By the time this team was getting the respect
01:18 that they kind of had earned throughout the year,
01:20 it was so deep into the season,
01:22 so we don't have a comparison spot.
01:24 I do really like the over in this football game though here,
01:28 and a lot of it has to do with Arizona.
01:30 Jayden Lora might play in this game.
01:31 If he ends up getting ruled out and this total drops,
01:33 I'll buy in again because the real key
01:36 for the Wildcats this season has been on the ground.
01:38 They've been great running the football,
01:40 which means they should have enough success here.
01:42 And what I'm, Arizona's run defense
01:45 has been pretty good this season.
01:47 So basically you're gonna make Panic's pass the ball
01:49 even more than he already has to, that's fantastic.
01:53 I will also say, truly one of the biggest bets
01:55 of my entire betting life
01:56 is not being on the Roma-Dunes A prop last year.
01:59 When I nailed that so perfectly,
02:00 I've taken the over, what if Jalen McMillan doesn't play,
02:02 McMillan doesn't play, and then a Dunes A smashed it.
02:05 So I'll probably never bet another Roma-Dunes A prop,
02:07 even though they always look like
02:09 they're good money to the over.
