Five of the six writers take Washington. The one who voted for Boise State was Dan Wolken.
Los Angeles Times
This is the final game for Washington coach Chris Petersen, who announced his resignation at the start of December. Could the Huskies possibly be as focused as a Boise State team coming off a Mountain West championship with a chance to beat a Pac-12 power? Boise State 20-17
The Action Cookbook
For those on the ground out West, there was no decision but to fight. The enemy had darkened the skies before sunset on the winter solstice; the fires of the burning cities would light the horizon throughout the night. Those who survived came to refer to it as The Longest Night.

This is destiny, right? Petersen is coaching the last game of his Washington career against the Boise State program that launched it. You can’t tempt fate by siding with the Broncos. Aside from destiny, the Broncos’ offense will struggle to move the football against a Huskies defense that’s third in the Pac-12 in scoring defense (20.4 points per game) and defensive yards per play (5.15). Washington will ugly this up, ride with their defense and hit enough big plays to pull away in the fourth quarter. Pick: Washington (-3.5)
