Washington Huskies +3.5 at California Golden Bears
Five games into the Chris Petersen era and the Huskies look nothing like a Chris Petersen team. They miss assignments, commit turnovers (WTF ?), have lapses in effort, aren't the more physical team on every play, and play poor situational football at times. This team doesn't practice like a Chris Petersen team, doesn't watch film like a Chris Petersen team and doesn't take coaching like a Chris Petersen team. This should be a source of terror for the entire Pac-12, because Washington is -- by Petersen's standards -- not a good football team, yet the Huskies are already pretty much on par with anybody in the league. We continue to maintain that Washington will be the dominant team in the Pac-12 in the coming years, probably starting as soon as next season, and that Petersen will bag the league's first national title since Pete Carroll at USC. That the Huskies can be as good as they are despite so much correctable failure is really striking. We're very impressed with Cal's improvement, but only one of these teams plays defense, and that one is getting points.
ATS Pick: Washington
Score: Washington 31, California 28
