Washington State was favored by 10.5 when it went into last Saturday’s contest at New Mexico. But the Cougars failed to protect a 14-point lead at halftime and eventually fell 38-35 to a 6-loss Lobos squad. The loss snapped a 4-game win streak for a WSU team that had allowed just 20.3 points per game since Oct. 12.
The Beavers were blanked 28-0 by Air Force Nov. 16. Oregon State — favored by 3 in that game — suffered its fifth consecutive straight-up setback and its sixth in a row against the spread (ATS). OSU clocked just 175 total yards against the Falcons; that marked the Beavers’ lowest single-game tally since 2019.
Since 2014, Washington State is 9-1 in this series, including 7-3 ATS, while the Over is 8-2.

Washington State at Oregon State picks and predictions
Prediction
Washington State 38, Oregon State 24
Moneyline
No interest. STEER CLEAR.
Against the spread
The last 7 games of this series have seen Wazzou go 5-2 ATS.
The Cougars aren’t terrific on defense, but Oregon State is certainly trending the wrong way and has been awful in generating explosive plays. Over their last 5 games, the Beavers have logged 11 giveaways and have 3 times completed less than 60% of their passes.
When Washington State has the ball, success rate is definitely a strength going against an OSU weakness. Wazzou generally keeps havoc plays to a minimum and stays ahead of the sticks. And in this matchup, the visitors are the superior squad when it comes to punching in redzone opportunities. WSU’s 75.6% TD rate on red-zone trips ranks 11th in the nation.
The COUGARS -11.5 (-110) are the value side.
Over/Under
The Over trend in the series includes an Over 59 cashing in last year’s game, a 38-35 Wazzou triumph.
The analytics put both defenses solidly in the bottom half of FBS. Expect some back and forth in scoring. And TeamRankings.com pegs both offenses in the top 25 when it comes to pace of play (plays per game). Even with rain and wind in the forecast, a higher-scoring game is the likable side of this one.
BACK THE OVER 56.5 (-110).
