ESPN Bet · as of July 8, 2026

Washington defeated UC Davis 70–10 in a dominant performance. Washington covered by 30.5; Game went Over by 25.5. The market closed at Washington -29.5 and the Blue Chip model made it Washington -37.2 - a gap of 7.7 points toward Washington, of which 6.9 points were beyond the model's measured factors. That was an information gap - the market pricing something the model does not carry - rather than a measured edge.
