I’m on the favorite here, as the Huskies are the superior overall team and will make their case for a playoff berth with a blowout win in the Pac-12 title game. Colorado deserves respect for its breakout season, but the Buffaloes also benefited from a relatively meager schedule in what was a mostly down year for the conference. Both teams have been among the better stories in college football, but the Cinderella tale for Colorado ends Friday, while Washington's next scene is the four-team playoff.

This total has fallen for good reason. These are the top two scoring defenses in the Pac-12, with Washington allowing 17.8 points per game and Colorado allowing 18.8. They also rank 1-2 in total defense. Look for the Under to cash for the 11th time in the Buffaloes' last 14 conference games.

It’s 1991 all over again, as the Huskies and Buffaloes meet up for the Pac-12 championship. Both teams are very good defensively, and this game will ultimately come down to which offense can you trust. In my opinion, that’s Jake Browning and the Huskies. This will be tight game throughout because of the stakes, but the Huskies will slowly start to pull away. Lay the points with Washington.

I made Washington -7.5 so I don't have any value here with the side, but I do think there's plenty with the total. We should see a defensive slowdown and I look for something similar to what happened when both Colorado and Washington ran into USC -- low scoring USC wins that stayed way Under. These are two of the best defenses in the Pac-12, and the nation, and they combined to allow only 35 ppg. I made the total 52, so Under is the play.

The Huskies can virtually lock up a College Football Playoff berth by beating Colorado in the Pac-12 title game, and I see them winning convincingly. Washington averages 44.8 points per game while giving up just 17.8. My projections show Washington winning by more than two touchdowns Friday and covering 65 percent of the time.
