Against the Spread (ATS)
Washington is favored by 7.5 points. Washington State is not a reliable pick against the spread looking at the whole season, covering the spread in four of 11 games. However, they have covered the spread in three of their last five, while Washington has covered in only two of six.
Washington has a top defense and Washington State has a high-flying offense. In this rivalry game, it should be close. Take WASHINGTON STATE (+7.5, -110) to cover.

Games featuring Washington State have gone over the point total in seven of 11 games, while the Huskies have hit the over in six of 11 outings. This game will be really close to the projected total.
