Minnesota vs. Washington Prediction: Week 4 Odds, Picks & Best Bet
My best Minnesota vs. Washington prediction focuses on Washington's offensive struggles through three weeks. This is a unit that scored just 16 points against the nation's 98th-ranked scoring defense, and I expect Demond Williams Jr. and his teammates to struggle against a team allowing just 17.3 points per game.
Washington is favored by 10.5 points ahead of tonight's 11 p.m. ET game at Husky Stadium in Seattle. The game will air on FOX and stream on FOX One.

💰 Minnesota vs. Washington prediction & best bet
Check out all of our college football predictions for more analysis across this week's slate.
Minnesota +10.5 (-110 via bet365)
Washington enters this game with the 22nd-ranked scoring defense, but the offense is averaging just 20 points per game against FBS foes this season.
Williams is Washington's entire offense, leading the team in both passing yards and rushing yards. Yet, while he's thrown for at least 249 yards in all three games this season, he's thrown just one touchdown against FBS competition. He also has only one rushing score.
While Minnesota lost its only power conference game by 25, the Golden Gophers held Mississippi State's ninth-ranked scoring offense to a season-low 38 points. Minnesota ranks 20th against the pass, which is why I expect the secondary to shut down Mississippi State's one-dimensional offense.
📡 SBR Edge
Washington's offense has struggled to stay on the field, converting just 40% of its third downs. That ranks 82nd in the country. I expect those struggles to continue against a defense allowing just a 33% conversion rate.
Don't be fooled by Washington's offensive stats
Washington ranks 45th in yards per play, but that ranking is incredibly inflated thanks to 8.8 yards per play against Eastern Washington last week. Against Utah State and Washington State, two teams that have yet to defeat an FBS team this season, Washington averaged just 6.1 yards per play and never scored more than 24.
Minnesota enters this game with the 37th-ranked passing attack. Quarterback Drake Lindsey has only thrown one interception this season, and he threw for a season-high 279 yards against Mississippi State, easily the best team he's faced.
Score prediction: Minnesota 17 Washington 14
