The ESPN game on Thursday night in NCAA betting has the Washington Huskies hosting the UCLA Bruins. You think ESPN is happy about this one? It is a matchup in college football betting between two teams who are below .500 and just hoping to become bowl eligible.
Check Status on Jake Locker
Before you make your bet on this game at SBG you want to check the status of Washington quarterback Jake Locker. He has an injured rib and has not played recently but Washington is desperate for a win and Locker has practiced and could go against the Bruins.
Disappointing Huskies
It has been an extremely disappointing season for Washington. They began the season ranked in the top 25 but not much has gone right. Locker has been hurt and even when healthy he didn’t play that well. Washington’s defense is awful as they are one of the worst in the country. Even at home the Huskies are no guarantee to beat a weak UCLA team. If the Huskies are to make a bowl game they would have to win their last three games beginning with this one against the Bruins.
