Washington State at Utah: Three things to know

The Cougars finally got back onto the field two weeks ago in a 38-13 loss at USC, their first game since Nov. 14 due to COVID-19 issues. After a win at Oregon State 38-28 in the opener, they’re 0-2 SU/ATS.
The Utes fell behind early last week at ranked Colorado, but they overwhelmed the Buffaloes in the second half in snowy Boulder for an impressive 38-21 win to cover a three-point number. After opening 0-2 SU/1-1 ATS, the Utes have won back-to-back games. The Over has also cashed in the past two, averaging 34.0 PPG on offense
The Cougars have cashed in four of the past five meetings in this series, with the Over hitting in five of the past seven. However, the Cougs are just 2-6 ATS across the past eight road games and 1-4 ATS in the previous five as a ‘dog.

Washington State at Utah: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Utah 34, Washington State 20

Money line (ML)

Utah (-375) will cost you nearly four times your potential return. While the Utes are playing with a lot of confidence right now, that’s too great of a risk. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

UTAH -10.5 (-110) has shown tremendous improvement since a 33-17 loss against USC in the opener, seeing an increase in points on offense in each of their previous three games, while allowing the same or fewer points as the previous time out. Unfortunately for the Utes, this is where it ends, as this is essentially their bowl game. They’ll go out on a high note after this abbreviated 2020 season.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 56.5 (-115) is the best play on the board in this one. Utah has seen the Under go 5-2-1 in its past eight at Rice-Eccles, and the Under is 5-1-1 in their past seven against a team with a losing overall mark, too.

This Washington State team has plenty of trends pointing to the Over, but a lot of those big numbers were during the Air Raid times of Mike Leach, and can mostly be ignored.

Washington State at USC: Three things to know

Washington State’s matchup against Stanford was canceled last week due to COVID-19 concerns. The Cougars have thus far exhibited a balanced attack with QB Jayden de Laura tallying 548 yards and 4 touchdown passes and RB Deon McIntosh rushing for 239 yards.
USC’s aerial assault has been sharp through three games. Southern Cal has averaged 323.3 yards per game while completing 70.7% of its passes. Sophomore QB Kedon Slovis has 5 touchdown passes against 2 interceptions.
That Trojan passing game will be up against a Wazzu pass defense which has been torched for 641 yards in two games. The Cougars ranked 114th (FBS) against the pass in 2019.

Washington State at USC: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

USC 38, Washington State 31

Money line (ML)

PASS. Value odds on a Wazzu lean are well bracketed.

Against the spread (ATS)

The road team is 6-1 in the last seven games of this series, and the visiting team is a solid lean Sunday night. In a small sample, USC has an 11-yard spread in drive starts (offense vs. defense). Figure on some regression in that department and on the Cougars being able to stay within 7-11 points.

BACK WASHINGTON STATE +12.5 (-110).

Over/Under (O/U)

No lean either way. PASS.

Oregon at Washington State: Three things to know

Both teams started their seasons with straight-up and against-the-spread victories when the Pac-12 opened play a week ago. Oregon scored in every quarter and rushed for 296 yards in a 35-14 home win over Stanford. Washington State won on the road, defeating Oregon State 38-28. The Cougars also scored in every quarter; they piled up 229 yards on the ground.
Wazzou has played the Ducks as tough as anyone over recent years. The Cougars lost last year’s tussle 37-35 on the road, but they had won the previous four games in the series. Washington State carries a 10-game ATS win streak into Saturday’s contest; the Cougars’ average margin of cover over the last seven of those games is a whopping 16.1 points.
Young quarterbacks will be on display on both sides of this one. Last week, Oregon sophomore QB Tyler Shough completed 17 of 26 passes for 227 yards and a touchdown and rushed 11 times for 85 yards and a score. In Corvalis, freshman Jayden de Laura passed for two touchdowns and ran for a score in his college debut. De Laura went 18-for-33 for 227 yards through the air.

Oregon at Washington State: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Oregon 35, Washington State 24

Money line (ML)

The Cougars’ recent history in the series is intriguing, but the straight up odds are respectable: PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Oregon side has some steam on this line. The Ducks have much the better talent base in recruiting, and under head coach Mario Cristobal, UO has gone 5-2 ATS as a road favorite. THE CLEAR LEAN IS ON THE DUCKS -10.5 (-106), but the play would only have value at a tag of -9.5 or better.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Over is 12-5 in the last 17 meetings between the Ducks and Cougars. UO’s defense showed a few warts (6.4 yards per carry allowed was a big one) that were paved over by the final score in last week’s effort against Stanford. Weather calls for a temperature in the high 30s and a chance of rain, and that seems to have tamped down the number a bit too much. THERE IS VALUE ON THE OVER 57.5 (-115).

Washington State at Oregon State: Three things to know

Washington State really struggled at the end of the 2019 season, losing seven of its last 10 games. The Cougars have won their last six games against Oregon State.
Oregon State has lost 14 of its last 20 games. The Beavers have quickly fallen to the bottom of the Pac-12 as one of the worst teams in the conference coming into the 2020-21 season.
Oregon State has fared well against the spread when facing Pac-12 opponents. It has covered the spread in six of its last seven games against conference opponents.

Washington State at Oregon State: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Washington State 31, Oregon State 27

Money line (ML)

WASHINGTON STATE (+125) is a slight road underdog in this contest despite a ton of recent success against Oregon State. Given that this is the first game of the season, expect some sloppy play on both sides. Take WSU due to the value as a slight dog.

Against the spread (ATS)

WASHINGTON STATE +3 (-110) is a field-goal underdog to Oregon State in the first game of the season for each of these squads. While the Cougars are 1-4 in their last five games dating back to 2019, look for this game to be decided on the final possession.

If the moneyline proves to be too risky of a bet for you, consider taking Washington State and the points in this contest.

Over/Under (O/U)

The total for this Pac-12 matchup is set at 63.5 points. Without head coach Mike Leach on the sidelines for Washington State, it just doesn’t have the same ceiling as on offense. Look for the Cougars to score in the low 30s, which will allow the UNDER 63.5 (-110) to hit.
