Five Projections, Over/Under Odds and Creative Predictions for UW in 2018

Parlaying consecutive 10-win seasons into a third is the expectation set forth by Washington fans for the program and head coach Chris Petersen in 2018.

The Huskies are double-digit point favorites in three road Pac-12 Conference games this fall, according to South Point Sports Book, along with their Nov. 3 matchup with Stanford at Husky Stadium.

UW is being given the edge against UCLA (-16), Oregon (-10) and Washington State (-13) by the Vegas casino. The Huskies are a 10-point favorite against David Shaw and the Cardinal, which could determine the North Division winner.

The two programs hold the highest odds for the division title with UW being the winner at -163 ahead of Stanford (+360), according to VegasInsider.com’s Brian Edwards. Without USC and Arizona on their schedule in 2018, and getting Stanford at home, the odds certainly appear in the Huskies favor.

Even the season opener against Auburn, which is listed as a neutral-site game representing the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic in Atlanta, Georgia, is only a 3-point spread.

Here are ten interesting spreads, puzzling projections and a few tempting over/under picks for the Washington Huskies 2018 season.

1. Bush Hamdan will have over/under 8.5 gif-quality celebrations in 2018 – The world of social media can be either informative or entertaining, but one thing is certain: it’s…creative. When news got out that the Huskies would have a familiar face as their new offensive coordinator, hiring Bush Hamdan back after one-season as the Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks coach, the feeling was easily summarized for Husky fans. Since his new coaching role holds a little more weight than his prior one on Petersen’s staff, the chances of Bush going Ham-dan on the sideline means more creative juice on social media for fans and recruits alike.
