The Oregon State Beavers (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12) travel to Seattle to battle the Washington Huskies (6-2, 3-2) Friday at 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Oregon State vs. Washington odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Oregon State, ranked No. 23 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings, against Washington features 2 teams who are having better then expected seasons in 2022.
Oregon State, with 1 of the best offensive lines in the country, can pound the ball in the run game. This allows them to ugly games up. The Beavers only 2 losses on the season were a hard-fought last-minute 17-14 loss to USC and lopsided 42-16 road loss to Utah.
Washington comes into this game after a 28-21 victory against the Cal Golden Bears on Oct. 28. The Huskies have found momentum under QB Michael Penix Jr. His transfer in from Indiana did not make waves, but his arrival has been what was needed for the Huskies who are rebuilding after mishaps by former coach Jimmy Lake.
This will be a tough game between 2 fringe top-25 teams in college football. It will go a long way in determining which bowl games these schools go to.

Oregon State at Washington picks and predictions
Prediction
Oregon State 35, Washington 31
Moneyline
PASS.
I lean towards the underdog Beavers (+165) in this game. But with the game being on Friday night and Washington playing great at home, I would rather be safe and take Oregon State with the points.
Against the spread
BET OREGON STATE +4.0 (-108).
Oregon State has the offensive line to hold up against good defenses. Washington is not a good defense. The run game of Oregon State will allow the Beavers to control the time of possession. Washington and their quick strike offense will score, but so will Oregon State. I like the Beavers +4.0 (-108) in this game.
Over/Under
BET OVER 55.0 (-110).
Washington and Penix will score on Oregon State. The Beaver’s defense is not the strength of the team. But the defense of Washington is not strong either. The 55 number seems too low in this matchup. Both teams can and should get to 30 so if this number stays Under 60, the Over 55.0 (-110) is my favorite play for this game.
