Washington vs. Stanford Picks

The Washington Huskies have a great offense and are led by the 2023 Heisman Trophy frontrunner Michael Penix Jr. at quarterback. In this game, take Penix to throw over 1.5 passing touchdowns, as this Stanford defense has been terrible. In Stanford's last three games, opposing quarterbacks have thrown over in all three games.

Stanford, meanwhile, will be forced to throw the ball in this one, so take Elic Ayomanor over receiving yards. He's the top target for this Cardinal offense and finds ways to get open. This season, he's averaging 84.4 receiving yards a game, but in his last three games, that number is 141 yards.

Washington vs. Stanford Prediction

The Washington Huskies had a bit of a letdown spot last week after their massive win over Oregon, which should have been expected. However, the Huskies have a great chance to make another statement against this Cardinal defense.

Michael Penix didn't play last week, but this Cardinal secondary has struggled mightily, so expect the QB to carve through this defense to lead Washington to a blowout win.

Prediction: Washington wins in a lopsided rout.
