Once upon a time, the Washington Huskies and Washington State Cougars were hated rivals and competitors in the Pac-12 Conference. But with the Pac-12’s implosion last year, Washington found refuge and riches in the Big Ten Conference. Meanwhile, Washington State is homeless after being blown off by the major conferences. Now, the Cougars and Huskies will renew NCAA Football Betting hostilities in Seattle at the home field of the NFL Seattle Seahawks. Washington is coming off a workmanlike win over Eastern Michigan but failed to get the cash in the process.

Washington Huskies Team Overview
Last game, the Washington Huskies won 30-9 against the Eastern Michigan Eagles as 24.5-point home favorites. The game went under the total of 49. Washington has a record of 2-0 straight up, 1-1 against the spread, and 0-2 over/under the offshore betting total.
Namely, Will Rogers passed for 261 yards and four touchdowns. And then a team that had to be rebuilt, Washington, overcame another slow start to beat Eastern Michigan 30-9 on Saturday. The Huskies failed to score in the first quarter for the second straight week to open the season under new head coach Jedd Fisch. But Rogers threw three touchdowns in the second quarter. Including two to Denzel Boston, to help rev up the Washington offense.
In sum, Rogers completed 10-of-13 passes in the second quarter for 154 yards. That was after his team fell behind 3-0 against the Mid-American Conference foe. He finished 21 of 26 and has completed 78% of his passes for 511 yards in his first two Washington games. Also, that comes with five TD passes and no interceptions.
Additionally, Jonah Coleman rushed 11 times for 104 yards to help Washington win its 16th straight home game. That is the second-longest streak in the nation after Michigan’s loss. It was his second straight 100-yard game to start his Washington career.
Overall, it would take a defensive highlight to get the Washington offense rolling. Cameron Broussard’s recovery of Cole Snyder’s fumble following a 25-yard run early in the second quarter set up the Huskies’ first score. The offense overcame two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. Also, it converted a fourth-and-1 on the ensuing drive to take a 7-3 lead. Gomez added another field goal to make it 7-6. But Coleman opened Washington’s next drive with a 64-yard run. A few plays later, Rogers found Boston on a 13-yard slant for a 14-6 lead with 3:07 left in the half.
