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.
