Last matchup (2024): Michigan 34, Washington 13.
Wolverines Face First Road Test
Michigan is 4-1 overall and 2-0 in conference play. They hold bragging rights over Washington after beating them in the National Title game, although many players from that team have since moved on to the NFL. The Wolverines aim to remain in the mix of top ten teams and climb higher in the rankings. They have won three games in a row, including a victory over #11 USC, 27-24.
Michigan’s last two games were decided by three points, and the spread for this matchup is essentially a pick’em. To succeed, they need to improve their passing game, control time of possession, and dictate the flow of the game, just as they did in the championship. They’ll be attempting to do so under a new head coach as well.
Huskies Ready For Rematch
Washington’s current level is far from last year’s team and they aren’t ranked this season. The Huskies are 3-2 overall and 3-0 at home. While their defense has been solid, their offense has been below average. The Huskies lost to Rutgers 21-18 on Saturday. It was a tough-luck loss for Washington, as they accumulated 521 yards of offense and didn’t turn the ball over, but missed multiple FG attempts.
The Huskies’ offense has been improving lately, but they’ll need to better their third-down efficiency against Michigan’s defense. Additionally, they must clean up their penalties to avoid giving Michigan any extra opportunities on offense.
Michigan vs Washington Prediction
This game is expected to be a defensive grind. Recently, Michigan has been in close games and hasn’t been scoring too many total points. Additionally, this is their first road game, and the team on the other sideline is extra motivated. The Huskies’ scoring has been inconsistent, but their defense has played well at home. Expect more field goals and long drives in this matchup.
