Washington at Utah

The Utes are seeking their first Pac-12 conference win here. They made a good showing at USC before bowing to the Trojans 23-14. It was a misleading final score. The Utes were lined up for the game winning field goal with just a few ticks left on the clock, but the Trojans not only blocked it but ran it in for the score, turning a potential OT game into a 9-point win. The Utah defense has come up big already forcing opponents into 12 turnovers in three games. Utah put up 54 vs. BYU last week in a huge upset win and their offense should get little resistance from a Washington team that is 3-1 but has allowed 133 points (33.3 per game). That should be the determining factor in this one as the Huskie defense is full of holes while the Utes will get a lot more stops. The Utes have had two weeks to prepare for the Huskies, which is good news for their backers as they are 26-11 ATS in their last 37 games after a bye including 8-2 ATS in their last ten. They are also 10-1 ATS at home following an upset win. Lay the points with Utah here.
