Washington Huskies Football Schedule 2016 Winning Predictions

   

Saturday, Sep. 3

Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Husky Stadium, Seattle, WA 11:00am PT Analysis: Rutgers went 4-8 in 2015 and simply doesn’t have enough talent in order to keep up with a Washington Huskies team that is well on its way to blossoming into a legitimate title contender before our very eyes. My Pick: Washington 42 Rutgers 24

Saturday Sep. 10

Idaho Vandals

Husky Stadium, Seattle, WA 2:00pm PT Analysis: I could simply copy and paste the above paragraph about Rutgers and drop it in here for Washington’s second game, but I won’t. Let’s just say the 4-8 Idaho Vandals are going down hard in Week 2! My Pick: Washington 45 Idaho 17

Saturday, Sep. 17

Portland State Vikings

Husky Stadium, Seattle, WA 5:00pm PT Analysis: Portland State…Really? Petersen and the Huskies should be ashamed of scheduling three patsies in a row to kick off their 2016 campaign, but whatever! Washington wins big, but maybe not big enough to cover the spread in Week 3. My Pick: Washington 56 Portland State 14

Friday, Sep. 24

Arizona Wildcats

Arizona Stadium, Tucson, AZ TBA Analysis: The Huskies will have the more explosive offense in this Pac-12 pairing, but I’m going with Arizona to get the narrow home win out of ‘mid-season’ desperation, if nothing else. My Pick: Arizona 31 Washington 30

Saturday, Sep. 30

Stanford Cardinal

Husky Stadium, Seattle, WA6:00pm PT ESPN Analysis: The Huskies may be playing a home, but I don’t like them to beat a Stanford team that I believe has legitimate four-team playoff potential heading into 2016. My Pick: Stanford 42 Washington 31

Saturday, Oct. 8

Oregon Ducks

Autzen Stadium, Eugene, OR TBA Analysis: The Huskies lose an absolute heartbreaker on the road against an Oregon team I expect to score the ball very well in 2016. My Pick: Oregon 42 Washington 38

Oct. 15—OFF——Saturday

Saturday, Oct. 22

Oregon State Beavers (HC)

Husky Stadium, Seattle, WA TBA Analysis: Washington will lay a huge smackdown on an underachieving Oregon State team that went 2-10 last season. My Pick: Washington 45 Oregon State 21

Saturday, Oct. 29

Utah Utes

Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Lake City, UT TBA Analysis: No matter how hard I try, I just can’t see Washington beating a Utah team on the road that won a stellar 10 games a year ago. My Pick: Utah 28 Washington 27

Saturday, Nov. 5

California Golden Bears

California Memorial Stadium, Berkeley, CA TBA Analysis: No Jared Goff means the Golden Bears will be fighting an uphill battle in 2016. Washington gets the outright road win! My Pick: Washington 31 Cal 24

Saturday, Nov. 12

USC Trojans

 Husky Stadium, Seattle, WA TBA Analysis: The Huskies may be playing at home in this Pac-12 showdown, but I’m going with USC to get the outright road win over Washington, mostly because they have as much talent as any team in the country, including Alabama. My Pick: USC 35 Washington 31

Friday, Nov. 19

Arizona State Sun Devils

Husky Stadium, Seattle, WA TBA Analysis: The Huskies are the pick to take out an Arizona State team that underachieved in going 6-7 in 2015. My Pick: Washington 24 Arizona State 14

Friday, Nov. 25

Washington State Cougars

Martin Stadium, Pullman, WA 12:30pm PT FOX/FS1 Analysis: The Huskies will, no doubt, go all out to get the season-ending win against their in-state and conference rivals, but I’m going to back a Washington State team has surprised en roué to an impressive nine wins a year ago. My Pick: Washington State 30 Washington 28
