Washington vs. Arizona State Picks, Predictions College Football Week 6: Can Huskies Get on Track?

Washington vs. Arizona State ATS Pick
Washington -13.5 (-115) ★★★★
Washington took a big hit last weekend in a tough loss to UCLA. Saturday's matchup should be an opportunity to win against an Arizona State team that's overmatched against the superior Huskies.
The Sun Devils rank 75th in ESPN's College Football Power Index, while the Huskies are No. 23. Washington's efficiency is a considerable advantage. The Huskies rank 11th in offensive efficiency compared to a Sun Devils' O-line that's only 86th and should struggle to keep pace.
ASU limiting Washington’s attack is a feeble argument. The Sun Devils barely rank inside the FBS top 100 in defensive efficiency (97th). Arizona State is 1-2 against the spread at home this season. Washington is 4-1 ATS. The talent disparity is simply greater than Fan Duel's 13.5 points.
Washington vs. Arizona State O/U Pick
Over 57 (-110) ★★★
Washington’s 39.0 points per game rank among the top 15 nationally, with the Huskies' 32 points at UCLA represent their season-low. Against ASU’s inefficient defense, expect the Huskies to eclipse 40 points to carry this total.
Arizona State’s offense held its own against USC, putting up 25 points. It was the Sun Devils' highest point total of the season, an improvement following head coach Herm Edwards' firing (it also might help that ASU assistants no longer sabotage the game plan and leak information to their opponents).
Though Arizona State games have trended Under at a clip of 1-4 on Overs, the Sun Devils’ loss to USC was the exception. Against a Washington team whose games have gone 4-0-1 on Overs this season, we should see some points.
Washington vs. Arizona State Prop Pick
First half Over 29.5 (+100) ★★★
Both teams have seen games with more than 30+ first half points on three of four occasions against FBS opponents this year. Washington should start quick and keep on the gas after fumbling a big opportunity last weekend.
Although Arizona State gets home field advantage, that probably won’t stop the Huskies. Keeping a top offense like Washington from dominating doesn’t seem plausible for a defense that allowed 21+ first-half points in its last three matchups.
The Sun Devils provided a semblance of hope with their 17-point outing at USC. That was Arizona's most impressive first-half offensive performance this year, so if it carries over to Week 6, this even-money pick is a great value.
