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, and Washington are having better-than-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 the Beavers to ugly games up. Their 2 losses were a hard-fought, last-minute 17-14 loss to USC and a lopsided 42-16 road loss to Utah.
Washington comes into this game after a 28-21 victory against the Cal Golden Bears 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 toward underdog Oregon State (+170). But with the game being Friday night and Washington playing great at home, I would rather be safe and take the Beavers with the points.
Against the spread
BET OREGON STATE +4.5 (-112).
Oregon State has the offensive line to hold up against good defenses. Washington is not a good defense. The Beavers run game will allow them to control the time of possession. The Huskies and their quick-strike offense will score, but so will the Beavers.
Over/Under
BET OVER 54 (-108).
Washington and Penix will score. The Oregon State defense is not the strength of the team, but Washington’s defense is not strong either. The 54.5 number seems too low. Both teams can and should get to 30. So, if this number stays Under 60, OVER 54 (-108) is my FAVORITE PLAY for this game.
