Texas vs Washington Betting Prediction
Washington comes into this game as the underdog and they have been doubted for most of this season, but they are the undefeated team in this matchup. Washington has the best passing attack in the country and their defense has played much better over the last three games. Texas has scored 49 and 57 points in their last two games, while allowing 21 or fewer points in three straight. This should be a great game, but I think Washington is going to be very tough to stop. The Huskies playing indoors is a huge advantage for the passing game and I am going to take them with the points here.
