1. Washington gets a close scare

Although I’m predicting that the Huskies get into a shootout with UCLA and Rosen, I still have to say they bounce back from their only loss and beat the Bruins this weekend. That isn’t to say that UCLA won’t make Washington earn it in a very close scare.

As I have already stated, each of these offenses are set to potentially put up some big scores against two weak defenses. How close will this scare for the Huskies be?

My final prediction is that against all the narrative going on right now, UCLA loses by only 10 points to the Huskies on the road. It may seem like that is a crazy prediction, which it kind of is, but I can’t help but look at the struggling Washington defense and see them covering the 17-point spread like many anticipate.
