I haven't watched ASU. Are the forks THAT bad on offense? :noidea:

They haven't been good this year. They've played better in their last two games but they don't have the OL or QB play to keep up with UW. Especially in Seattle.
 
Sure, but a 5TD spread is pretty high for a conference game lol.

5 TDs are my numbers, not Vegas. UW is in my power ratings top 10 and ASU is really bad. Almost outside of the top 100. That said, those numbers don't take into account situation. It's possible UW doesn't come out playing their best after a close, emotional win over a rival. That could explain the 7 point difference between my numbers and Vegas.
 
Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Ducks entirely undress the Cougs and win by 4+ TD's.

The line has already moved from 16.5 to 20 since it opened. It appears most of the money is thinking the same thing. Wazzu has played really poorly the last two weeks. It really depends on if they're playing an Oregon team that's feeling bad for themselves or an Oregon team that is out for revenge.

Oh I understood those were your numbers, just wondered why.
My concern for a run-up the score kind of day would be how many of our injured from yesterday are back next week and maybe how they might just keep them out to make sure we have a healthier staff come those last 4 games? They aren't quite as dynamic without McMillan in the slot. They are hard to beat when they have all 3 of their major receivers at full strength.

Fair concern. I'm not advocating someone to bet UW -27. I'm personally not a fan of betting on blowout games. You never know how coaches will manage it.

The passing game isn't awful (still not good), but they've juggled through four different QBs already. The running game, however, is legitimately bad. 2.8 YPC as a team. Skattebo has been getting the bulk of the carries and he's averaging 3.9. They've also given up 22 sacks, good for a tie at 117th. The OL is really bad. They also have the worst turnover margin in the country.

Defense doesn't look too shabby though. They've only had one game of 5+ yards per play, and that was against USC. USC slaughtered them at 8.9 yards per play. That was also the only game they've given up 30+ points. I'm guessing their defense has had a lot of short fields to work with.
 
Holy crap, look at USCs remaining schedule. They may finish 3rd in the PAC.

I'd pick Arizona State and probably WSU to cover. Both UW and Oregon are coming off a huge emotional game, the potential for a letdown game is real.

UW will have 3rd stringers and walk-ons midway 3rd Quarter and not care about covering.

Utah has 3 ranked opponents in the next 4 weeks
Oregon has 3 ranked opponents every other week for the rest of the season. not to mention WSU who just fell out.
Washington chill for 2 weeks then but Nov is 3 ranked opponents and the Apple cup
