Two teams heading in opposite directions are set to face off at 9 p.m ET on Saturday at Husky Stadium.

Here are our top picks for the college football Week 12 game between Colorado vs. Washington (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5 star scale).
Colorado vs. Washington Odds
Colorado vs. Washington Picks
Colorado vs. Washington ATS Pick
Colorado +30.5 (-105) ★★★
The Huskies are clearly the better team, and they're easier to back from a betting perspective after posting a 5-5 clip against the spread. Colorado, meanwhile, is 2-8 against the spread on the year and has failed to cover the number in back-to-back contests.
So why are we taking the points? Well, there are too many of them. Colorado has been this big of an underdog against only USC and Oregon, both of which took place the last two weeks.
The Huskies are coming off a huge win over the Ducks, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they were due for a bit of a letdown here. But this is more of a bet on the Buffaloes getting a backdoor cover.
Colorado vs. Washington O/U Pick
Over 64 (-110) ★★★
Both teams have been delivering for Over bettors this year, as Colorado and Washington have a combined 14-6 clip to the Over.
The Buffaloes, who are 7-3 to the Over, just cleared a high total last Friday night. USC secured a 55-17 victory to soar above the closing total of 66. Colorado ranks dead last in the country in defensive scoring average, giving up 41.7 points per game.
Washington should pour it on Colorado this weekend. The Huskies rank 13th in the nation in scoring with an average of 38.4 points per game.
Colorado vs. Washington Prop Pick
First quarter Over 14 points (-105) ★★
If we like the Over, it only makes sense to take this first-quarter total at DraftKings. The Huskies could score two touchdowns on their own, sending a message out of the gate in front of their home crowd.
Colorado is surrendering 9.1 points per game in the first quarter, but Washington should clear that mark this weekend.
