Online Sports Betting – #20 Washington To Take Control of Pac-10

Online sports bettors know that the 20th-ranked Washington Huskies have had some controversy surrounding their program lately, but they have now taken control in the Pac-10.

On Saturday they will take on the Sun Devils of Arizona State in conference action that begins at 4 PM ET at the Alaska Airlines Arena (recently re-named) in Seattle. U-Dub took care of business against Arizona the other night and now looks for a sweep over the Arizona schools.

Live at Alaska Airlines Arena

Saturday, January 22 — 4 PM ET

Online Sports Betting Odds:  TBA

Here are some of the online sports betting trends that are related to this matchup:

• Arizona State has lost four of its last five games SU
• Arizona State has lost six of its last eight road games SU
• Washington has won eight of it slats nine games SU
• Washington has won its last 12 home games SU

Recently, a 16-year-old in the Seattle area claimed to have been sexually assaulted by a Washington player. That matter has not been resolved as of yet, and the name of the player has not been revealed, but after a very disappointing loss to Stanford, Washington has come back with two nice wins, a 92-71 decision over California, and an 85-68 triumph over Arizona, where the Huskies, laying ten points in online sports betting, pulled away in the second half.

With point guard Abdul Gaddy sidelined, the guy who has really stepped up to the table is Isaiah Thomas, who has tallied 49 points and 23 assists over the last two games. Thomas, the cat-quick 5’8" guard, is benefiting by having the ball in his hands more often, and against Arizona (which came in as the #25 team in the coaches’ poll), the attention the defense paid to him freed up people like Matthew Bryan-Amaning and Justin Holiday (the brother of Jrue, who’s had 45 points in the last two).

These are some of the head-to-head trends involving online sports betting on this game:

• Arizona State has covered four of the last six meetings
• Washington has won 14 of the last 17 meetings SU
• Four of the last six meetings have gone OVER the total
• Washington has won eight of the last ten meetings SU as the home team
• Washington has covered four of the last six meetings as the home team
• Washington has had the rebounding edge in eight of the last ten meetings

The scoring balance is one of the things that is going to bother ASU here. Another thing is the pace. The Sun Devils predicate some of their style on being able to slow things down against opponents, and they have just not done a very good job of it against the better teams. In fact, they have surrendered 158 points over the last two to Arizona and Washington State. And there is no James Harden or Jeff Pendergast on this year’s team to tackle the scoring load.  Washington was held to just 51 points in the first meeting between these teams, before rebounding with a 79-56 win in Seattle in the rematch. We see a scenario similar to the last meeting, and we will lay the points with a U-Dub team that turns it over just 12 times a game and pulls down almost 15 offensive rebounds per contest. It’s the Huskies in the online sports betting odds.
