Anything can happen during PAC-12 rivalry games. As much as I’d love to not do my homework, just look at ranking and record and be like, ” Oh yeah, the Washington Huskies are going to destroy the Arizona Wildcats, “it’s not that simple. While I’ll give you that there is a record discrepancy, that is about as far as the differences go between these two teams. I really believe that either one of these teams has the chance to win this game.
The Arizona Wildcats only have one loss, and that loss is to an SEC team. So while yes, you could say that Arizona is worse because of their record and lack of national ranking, I’d say you have to diver deeper into each team’s competition so far. I would also beg you to check team stats before making your pick as Arizona has been flying under the radar with some of these numbers. Starting QB Jayden de Laura has been phenomenal with 1,069 passing yards and nine touchdowns. He’s also managed to rush into the endzone three times himself this season. Receiver Tetairoa McMillan has also been lights out with 341 yards and three touchdowns. So yeah, they’re no pushovers.
There is a reason that Washington is ranked though, they are an amazing football team in their own right and they beat down the Spartans pretty good. I’m a big believer in this Huskies offense, and I believe that should not be a hot take after the start of the season they’ve had. Michael Penix Jr. That is the sentence, I will say more, but I shouldn’t have to. 1,639 yards in the air, 16 touchdowns, and only 2 picks. Yes, the word you are looking for is “wow”. He has been an absolute beast to start the season off and it’s propelled that offense with him. Receiver Rome Odunze has had over 500 receiving yards and four touchdowns, and his stats aren’t that much better than the second receiver in this offense.
Either one of these teams can win in this PAC-12 matchup, so bet on either team!
