T.M. Selection: Washington.

I like Washington to cover the spread against Stanford in this game on Saturday. Washington ended their 2 game losing streak with a win over Arizona last week and their defense held Arizona to 16 points in that game. Despite their record, Washington have been playing very well in their games lately. They came close to beating a good UCLA team and they almost got the win over Oregon State too losing that game by 3 points in such a close one. Stanford has lost 2 games in a row now ever since upsetting Oregon almost a month ago. Their offense has been terrible since then, putting up 10 points against Arizona State and 31 against Washington State but they didn't do much in the 1st half of that game and were already in a hole by the time they woke up in the 2nd half. Washington State is not a good team at all this year either and that should have been a win for them. Washington is much better and they actually play defense in their games and they do it quite well. I don't think they are going to let Stanford do much on offense in this game and will hold them down all game. I think Washington is going to win this game and I think they are going to do it with their defense. I like Washington to cover the spread here because I think if they lose this game then no way it is more than a field goal.

T.M. Prediction: 27-14 Washington.
