#18 Washington 8-2 (5-2) vs. Utah 5-5 (2-5)
Date: Saturday, November 18th
Time: 7:30pm PST
Location: Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium, Seattle, Washington
TV: ESPN
Streaming: Espn.com
Radio: KOMO AM 1000
Excitement Rating: 10/10 (I will always give UW a 10/10 in the excitement rating. Actual score 5/10...). With the loss to Stanford there are no stakes for the Huskies in this game. Whether they lose or win, they will need to win the Apple Cup and then have Cal beat Stanford to claim the North title. A win here would get Utah to bowl eligibility before they face off with Colorado to end their season. But you’ll be watching because there’s likely one less opportunity to watch this team than we thought there would be 10 days ago.
Washington is a 17.5 point favorite with an over/under of 46.5. That means the betting public expects a final score of Washington-32, Utah-15.

Excitement Rating: 2/10. The line may be fairly close and Oregon State has looked better since the coaching change but this is not a particularly exciting matchup. Expect the Sun Devils to clinch a bowl game with this win.
Arizona State is a 7 point favorite and the Over/Under 58 is which means the betting public expects a score of Arizona State-33, Oregon State-25.
Arizona 7-3 (5-2) @ Oregon 5-5 (2-5)

Excitement Rating: 9/10. Khalil Tate is always a joy to watch especially when he’s sprinting past a bunch of Ducks defenders. It looks like Justin Herbert will return for this one which will give Oregon’s offense a chance of being competent again. If Herbert is able to put up 28+ against an Arizona defense that has given up 28+ to every single Pac-12 opponent they’ve played, expect Duck fans to continue to claim they would’ve beaten Washington had he played.
Oregon is a 3 point favorite with an over/under of 77. That means the betting public expects a final score of Oregon-40, Arizona-37.
UCLA 5-5 (3-4) @ #11 USC 9-2 (7-1)

Excitement Rating: 6/10. I’m giving this one a slight boost because it might be exciting for some people to see the Jim Mora era come to an end. Personally I’m depressed about it because I might have to start worrying about UCLA again. The Bruins are 5-0 at home and 0-5 on the road. They’re on the road here. I think I know how this one is going to go. But if UCLA could miraculously pull off the upset it would get them to a bowl game.
USC is a 15 point favorite and the Over/Under 70.5 is which means Vegas expects a score of USC-43, UCLA-28.
California 5-5 (2-5) @ #22 Stanford 7-3 (6-2)

Excitement Rating: 10/10. Everyone is going to want to watch the Golden Bears ruin Stanford’s season by banishing them from the Pac-12 title game which is about as exciting as it gets. (Is it working? Did I jinx them?)
Stanford is a 14 point favorite and the Over/Under is 54.5 which means the betting public expects a score of Stanford-34, Cal-20.
