The Washington State Cougars (5-4, 4-2 Pac-12) visit the No. 6 Oregon Ducks (8-1, 5-1) Saturday at the Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore. Kickoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Colorado vs. UCLA odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.
The Cougars won at Arizona State by a 34-21 score as 16.5-point underdogs, covering for the sixth consecutive outing. Washington State inched within one game of a bowl spot, which is a miracle in this topsy-turvy season that saw Todd Rolovich dismissed as head coach due to his refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
The Ducks won 26-16 at Washington last week to cover a seven-point number in its fourth straight win since an overtime loss at Stanford Oct. 2. Oregon is still just 2-5 ATS across the past seven outings overall.

Washington State at Oregon odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Oregon 33, Washington State 22
Money line
Oregon (-550) will win this game to keep its hopes alive at a CFP spot, but laying five-and-a-half times your potential return is just foolish.
PASS, and play the number instead.
Against the spread
WASHINGTON STATE +13.5 (-107) has had quite a resurgence lately, rallying around each other during this trying season. The Cougs have covered six in a row, with three of the past four coming in one-score games.
Oregon -13.5 (-115) is going to win, and might even get it done by double digits. But the Ducks have had struggles against the Cougars over the years, going just 1-10 ATS in the previous 11 meetings, while failing to cover each of the past five at home against Wazzu.
Over/Under
The UNDER 57.5 (-110) is the lean in this one, hitting in six of the past seven games overall for Washington State. The Under is also 4-1 in the past five games on the road for the Cougars.
The Under is 4-1 in the past five for Oregon against teams with a winning record. While the Over has cashed on a regular basis in this series. The teams have been trending to the Under, and we’ll get another Under result here.
