Arizona at Washington State picks and predictions
Prediction
Washington State 38, Arizona 27
Moneyline
Arizona has not beaten Washington State since 2017 and has not won in Pullman since 2014. The Wildcats have allowed an average of 37 points in their last 2 losses, while the Cougars scored 31 or more in their first 4 games before being held to 17 last week, although that was the highest total a team has scored against UCLA.
Washington State allows an average of 25.4 points per game but opponents have scored between 21 and 25 in 4 of 5 games.
Arizona is 1-2 on the road while Washington State is unbeaten at home.
Expect the Cougars to win but PASS on the moneyline at -275. That isn’t worth the action unless you include it as a leg of a parlay bet.
Against the spread
Arizona is 5-1 ATS and 3-0 ATS as the underdog, although the smallest spread as the underdogs it has faced is 9 points. Thus far, the Wildcats’ 3 losses have been by no more than 7 points.
The Cougars’ 1 conference win was by 3 points but they won all 3 non-conference games by at least 19.
BET WASHINGTON STATE -7.5 (-105).
Over/Under
Arizona’s only game to hit the Over was last week’s loss to USC. Washington State has had 3 of 5 games hit the Over. In all 3, the total went at least into the 60s.
BET OVER 58.5 (-105).
