The rumblings are growing louder, and if you listen closely, you’ll hear the whispers of the Washington Huskies aiming for college football’s national championship title. Their claim strengthened after they clinched a 36-33 victory over the Oregon Ducks this past Saturday.
Stay ahead of the game and elevate your sports betting experience with SportsGrid.
One cannot ignore the elephant in the room – the daunting path ahead for the Huskies. They’re looking down the barrel of a loaded gun, with four ranked teams waiting in their final six games. Two of these high-stake matchups will take them on the road as they brace themselves against USC and Oregon State.
However, given the recent performance of the USC defense, some might argue that not all these fixtures are as intimidating as they sound on paper. Let’s not forget Oregon ranks as the second-best team in the PAC 12, yet the Huskies managed to best them.

The waves of positivity don’t end there for the Huskies. Michael Penix Jr., their standout quarterback, is the considerable betting favorite to bag the Heisman with -140 odds at FanDuel Sportsbook. So, as far as accolades and performances go, Washington isn’t looking too shabby.
To put it all into perspective, if the Huskies seal the deal and clinch the PAC 12, their odds at +950 to win the national championship suddenly don’t look that far-fetched.
The big question remains: with such favorable odds and a team that’s showing promise with each game, will you be putting your money where the buzz is? Are you ready to sprinkle some cash on the Washington Huskies?
