Any word on the thumb?

UW playing with a generalized chip on their shoulder, and a specific one for us due to a tough upset loss we administered the last time they were in Palo Alto (also a late night Larry special).
Huskies breaking in many new starters & early subs and playing for eyeball test nationally, so I'd expect them to keep running their offense and not ease up if they get ahead.

I don't think this ends well for the good guys. Unless a spark comes out of nowhere (Mills getting exceptionally hot, Austin Jones or Cam Scarlett delivering a break-out performance, Toohill getting a defensive score and Adebo an interception), I see the Dawgs going home with a two TD victory. Let's say 31-17 or thereabouts.
This reminds me of a prediction I nailed exactly four years ago: the Dawgs were coming to town, and I picked the Cardinal to prevail 31-14. On the nose. But how times have changed.

This one is a big hill to climb. I think the outcome will be in the same neighborhood. I fear the best our offense can do will still be less than the least our D can give up.

George - don't mean to cause trouble for you, and its not that big a deal - but maybe its worth mentioning that last week the prediction widget wasn't working for taking predictions on Saturday early afternoon for me and apparently a few others (leftcoast noted that in posting a prediction in the thread - I posted and PMed you).
I don't know if there was a time stamp problem in closing the widget, or if something was wrong with my browser.
I do note that right now I can post a score at the top of this thread.

Yes, I couldn’t post my prediction using the tool Saturday morning so I posted it in the discussion thread.
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.

Hoping for a repeat of 1982. The Huskies came into Stanford Stadium 7-0 and ranked #1 in the country, but we pulled off the upset.
Of course, we had John Elway then and had beaten Ohio State earlier in the year.

1) Absent from bowl projections (ESPN, SI, CBS - I stopped checking)
2) 16.5-point underdogs at home, first time since 2008
3) Ranked 11th among Pac 12 teams in ESPN's power rankings, above only OSU (seriously?!)
4) 7 healthy scholarship players on the OL, starting QB injured, no experience or depth at ILB, etc.
Clearly, we are not very good, and yet I still feel like we've been oversold and we can win on Saturday.
We are in a process to play our best football, my friends. Next starts now. Moreover, Davis Mills.
And I’m never picking against us.

Lose this and we lose the North. Then Ducks visit Seattle Oct. 19.
Looking for some kind of edge, I do not like anything about this matchup
-- Stanford a 15 point Home Dog.
Yards per game: WASH 443 (3rd), STAN 327 (12th in Pac12)
Points per game: WASH 38 (3rd), STAN 20 (12th)
Rush yds per carry: WASH 5.0 (5th), STAN 3.6 (10th)
Passing yds per try: WASH 8.5 (7th), STAN 6.1 (12th)
Red Zone TD %: WASH 55% (10th), STAN 40% (12th)
Points allowed per game: WASH 18 (4th), STAN 29 (7th)
Huskies bring one of the best O-Lines in the Pac-12, a fast RB in Ahmed, and faster Receivers.
Eason is as good a QB as KJ was last year.
KJ is out, so Mills starts. More importantly, our O-Line is injured badly.
Both starting tackles and a starting Guard (Hamilton) out.
STRENGTHS?: Our receiving corp remains potent, but Mills will need time to get the ball thrown.
Can we run... with a second tier O-Line?
To win, I think we need 3+ turnovers and the Defense needs to score TWO TDs, as in Sun Bowl win on UNC.
Piss & Yelp (Huskies): 34
Slash & Burn (Trees): 13 -- Our O-Line in tatters could be fatal.

Petersen could lay 50 on this team. Easily. The matchup is brutal and the meager attendance will be wearing purple, mostly. Last week, the Beaver "braintrust" made elementary adjustments at halftime and shredded the Stanford D. Huskies have edge in all phases of the game, all positions and, last but least, on the sideline and the press box. Stanford in 2019: overmatched, out-conditioned and outcoached. 50-something to 20. That "20" assumes Mills doesn't get knocked out.
PITIFUL. Just like Shaw's recent recruiting efforts and his strength and conditioning program.
