Utah Utes vs Washington Huskies Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/29/25

Utah isn’t an easy team to trust from a betting perspective — the Utes have struggled against the spread, and that reputation is built into this number. Oddsmakers know the market has cooled on Utah, which helps inflate Washington’s stock and creates value on the underdog at +11.5. Utah’s on-court reality, however, is a competitive outfit. The Utes defend with size, rebound well, and slow opponents into half-court games that naturally suppress scoring separation. Handing such a team double digits at an enhanced price is the definition of value. After all, Washington has been favored by this much against Utah in recent memory.

Washington has a talented roster and can overwhelm weaker teams in transition, but they also experience stretches of inconsistency. Their offense relies heavily on pace and rhythm, and when that rhythm stalls, they tend to trade empty possessions and find themselves in trouble. Their loss at Seattle as in 70-66 defeat speaks into this very notion. Utah’s offense isn’t explosive per se, but it is physical and patient. The Utes generate inside looks, attack the offensive glass, and shorten games. This is a team that likes to grind out wins and that style of play is conducive to an underdog catching this amount of points.

Utah vs Washington prediction: Utah +11.5 (-115) available at time of publishing. Playable to +11.
