The Huskies have the edge at quarterback, defense and on the sidelines, not to mention the fact that they’ve gone 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games.While the Utes have gone 4-2 ATS over their last six games and certainly won’t go down quietly in this affair, Washington has gone 8-3 ATS in its last 11 road games and are simply superior to the Utes in every way this season. Washington has scored at least 35 points in each of their last five games while Utah has been limited to 23 points or less in two of their last five outings.
