A clear difference existed between the first two years of Kalani Sitake at BYU. To illustrate his first season went well with a final mark of 9-4. Balanced against that was a terrible 4-9 season last year. At the onset of 2018 there were doubts about the Cougars ability as a team. Not to mention Sitake’s head coaching prowess. But when BYU upset highly ranked Wisconsin the Bet on College Football perception changed dramatically. Correlate that win to Saturday’s tough assignment at Washington. As a consequence of their win at Wisconsin, BYU should be prepared well for Husky Stadium.

BYU Cougars
Brigham Young has a bet on College Football record of 3-1 both straight up and against the spread. Another factor to consider is that all four of their games have gone under the total. Last week BYU earned a 30-3 home payout over McNeese State. Offense remains a major concern for the Cougars. As an example, BYU ranks 118th in the country for overall offense. Counter to that is a defense that ranks 23rd for points allowed. Sitake has a defensive background and it shows. Concurrently he must dramatically improve the offensive attack to fully rebuild the Cougars.
Washington Huskies
Washington is also 3-1 straight up but has covered just one of their four games against the spread. Comparable to their record was a 27-20 home win over Arizona State last week. The Huskies were never a threat to cover the 18-point spread as overlay chalks. Simultaneously Washington is also strong defensively. To illuminate they rank fifth nationally for points allowed.
Stats to Consider
BYU has emerged as an excellent sportsbook value as a road dog. To show, the Cougars have paid in 10 of their last 13 getting points away from home. Nine of their last 11 in that role have gone under the total. Washington has been in the black as a recent home chalk. Furthermore, as a double-digit road dog the Cougars have come away with the cash in seven of their last eight. And eight of their last nine as such have gone under the total.
Team vs. Team
For example, the Huskies have paid out in four of their last seven laying points at home. Three of their last five as a home chalk have gone over the total. Balanced against that is U-Dub’s poor recent marks as a double-digit home chalk. Washington has failed to cover their last three in that role. Three of the Huskies last four in that situation have gone under the total. Head to head these teams have split their last four meetings vs. the line. And the last two matchups went under the total.
Matchup to Watch
Washington quarterback Jack Browning is the bet on College Football Matchup difference here. While both teams have good defenses, Browning is a far superior signal caller. Henceforth the U-Dub offense sets them apart.
BYU vs. Washington Bet on College Football Picks
In conclusion while we respect BYU’s improvement Washington is the far more complete and deeper team.
