The public is all over Baylor with this game being played in its own backyard and with the Bears boasting Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III. Knowing the public would be eager to take the Bears, odds makers have overinflated this line to secure a big payday.
Baylor is about as good as it gets offensively, but it is one of the worst defensive teams in the country. Washington studs Keith Price and Chris Polk will be able to held the Huskies exploit a Baylor defense ranked 114th nationally with 478.3 yards allowed per game. Baylor will score, but Washington has the horses to match the Bears tit for tat.
