Utah at Washington

Washington had a great great year last year when they upset Stanford and became the darlings of the west coast with their late season run. Utah had a nice season as well. One thing sticks out from last season about the Utes, however. When Jacobson was not scoring in droves, the Utes struggled to score points. Jacobson is gone and while Jackson and Bogut are back for this team, it will take time for the Utes to get their feel offensively. UW's stellar guard play will continue as Nate Robinson and Brandon Roy return to lead the Huskies. These Huskies will have too much fire power and pressure defense for the Utes at this early stage in the season. I like this low number and think it should be higher. Two stars on Washington -4 here (2% of bankroll).
