On the surface, the Wildcats seem to be the sure play. Each of these teams are far better at home and recent history would tell us that the home team will win. In fact, in the last 8 matchups between these two the home team has won every single time with the closest margin of victory being 5 pts.
Today, I think this trend is reversed. The 13th-ranked Arizona Wildcats are a mere 2.5 fave over the unranked Washington Huskies. I know that Washington beat Arizona earlier this year by 17 at home which may account for why this line is so low but if you throw in the revenge factor and the fact that Arizona has played very well since then while Washington has had its struggles and one would certainly have expected a line closer to Zona -4 or 5. Additionally, the public is pounding the hell out of Arizona but the line has held steady at 2.5. Derrick Williams is a hell of a player but Washington has a much deeper team and today I think they will expose Arizona's weaknesses. To me, this just seems like a perfect trap situation.
Washington +2.5 and ML+125 for me.
