Washington vs. Arizona Prediction, Odds, Spread and Over/Under for College Football Week 8
By Matt De Saro
The 2-4 Washington Huskies visit Arizona Stadium in Week 8 to go head to head against the winless Arizona Wildcats. Neither of these teams have impressed at any point this season so it will be interesting what will happen when these two Pac-12 rivals meet.
Washington is coming into this game on a two-game losing streak having dropped their last pair of games to Oregon State and UCLA respectively. Both losses were by less than a TD but, even still, the Huskies failed to cover either.
Arizona, meanwhile, is having a whole mess of problems on its end. They haven’t won a game since beating Colorado on Oct 5, 2019. There isn’t much more to be said about this team other than they have covered just twice this year. Once to BYU and once to Oregon but were unable to hang with the likes of UCLA, San Diego State, and Colorado. The latter smoked Arizona, winning by 34 as 6 point favorites.
This game will be depressing all around so let’s cheer each other up by at least profiting from this clash of commoners.

Washington vs. Arizona Prediction and Pick
Arizona will lose their 19th straight game on Friday. Let’s be clear about that right off the bat. But, can they cover +17? It is hard for me to trust a team that hasn’t won a game since the previous presidency. Three years is a long time to go without a W and I just don’t think the Wildcats have much fight left in them after all that heartbreak.
Washington, however, hasn’t been all that much better as far as this season goes. The Huskies are coming off a loss to UCLA last week where they were held under 270 yards of total offense and gave the ball away twice. The offense was led by Dylan Morris under center, who threw for 184 yards and a TD but he was picked twice.
Unsurprisingly, Arizona has also struggled to score and ranks outside of the top-125 in points per game and points per play.
Basically, Arizona is one of the worst football teams you can watch this weekend and Washington is only slightly better. But 17 points better? I would have to say yes. Arizona is barely putting up a fight at this point and needs to completely overhaul their program if they don't want to wait another three years for a win.
Prediction: Washington -17.0 (-110)
