When was the last time we were favored? 1997 or 2002? Or is this the first in decades?

I don't expect anyone to know the answer, except Tron.

2006 was the last time we were favored. (By 8.5).
So 12 years.
Just have to get that "W" this year. If no win against on Friday against those low down scurvy dawgs, then all the rest of the season didn't mean squat. The '02 Apple Cup still stings, don't want that again.
1-2 weeks ago UW was favored in the AC. We've moved +20 pts in win probability since then.
I disagree with this. I enjoy few things more than beating the mutts, but don't think a loss to them on Friday diminishes what this team has done to date this season. (I also think it's a moot discussion because I expect to see Minshew, Pelluer, and the boys make a statement on Friday and beat the dawgs... convincingly...)
Huskies have continued to look like the Huskies. A team that can dominate for stretches at home but can’t put teams away and is more than vulnerable on the road, especially on offense.
Cougs look like a machine on offense with an underrated and effective defense.
Not surprised to see the line where it is, although I’d prefer to be underdogs.
I would love nothing more than to see WSU whip UW unmercifully. No nail biting win, just a total steamroll over the Dawgs. Too many times they have done that to the Cougs (no matter how good WSU might have been that year), it is well past the time for payback in spades. Make the recent win over Arizona look like a competitive game by comparison!
I don't think we'll steamroll them. They're well coached, have an experienced QB, and will have solid fan support, similar to their game at Oregon.
technically its a draw in Vegas' eyes; the 3 pts is simply for home field advantage. So on a neutral field they think the fuskies would win - so we're underdogs again!When was the last time we were favored? 1997 or 2002? Or is this the first in decades?

No they don’t. They want even money on both sides, that’s all they care about. Even though we are clearly the better team this year the typical better is blinded by the BS that doesn’t matter, like what the Huskies have done to us the last 4 years. If that wasn’t a factor and they just put a line on the game based on what they thought would happen and what all the numbers tell you I’d say it would be a 7/8 point line.
