Weekend Picks

Huskies -6.5 over Cougars - This game could easily turn into a high scoring affair with both teams struggling mightily on defense this season. I like the Huskies ability to run the ball well, which should allow them to control the time of possession. Look for the Cougars to throw the ball a lot, possibly 40-50 times. I'm guessing Alex Brink racks up some pretty good numbers through the air, but this should also allow the Huskies more opportunities to snag some turnovers. In the end the Huskies run game and the fact that the game is at UW leads the Dawgs to victory.

Huskies can win if: They run the ball similar to the way they did last week and win the turnover battle. They also have to limit big scoring plays by the Cougars. UW 42, WSU 33

Seahawks -3 over Rams
- The Rams are probably a much better team now than they were when they played in Seattle. Bulger is playing healthy and playing well and they have Steven Jackson back. However, the Seahawks have played two very good games in a row, especially on defense and the Hawks have won in St. Louis two years in a row and four games overall in a row against the Rams. Hasselbeck is playing great right now and he should be able to pick apart a weak St. Louis defense.

Seahawks can win if: They continue to put pressure on the quarterback and can get the passing game going early to also open up some holes for Mo Morris. This is a game they should win as long as they don't give up big plays or make big mistakes. Seahawks 30, St. Louis 17
