On Saturday, the Washington Huskies will play just their second home conference game of the season when the UCLA Bruins visit the shores of Montlake. Coached by Husky alumnus Jim Mora, ESPN’s Football Power Index gives UCLA an 8.7 percent chance of winning, while Vegas favors the Dawgs by 17.5 points. How do the UW Dawg Pound writers expect Saturday’s game to shake out?
Two weeks ago, in this very space, we were contemplating how the Huskies would do against a supposedly over-matched opponent — with an equivalent 17.5-point spread favoring Washington — and my fellow writers favored UW to win by 25, 26 and 28 points.
