Washington at Washington State picks and predictions
Prediction
Washington 38, Washington State 30
Moneyline
Even though the Huskies aren’t in contention of making the College Football Playoffs, I’ll take WASHINGTON (-125) as the program looks to secure the best bowl game possible. Washington has won 8 of its last 10 meetings with Washington State.
Against the spread
WASHINGTON -2 (-110) is an enticing wager as we only need the Huskies to win by a field goal to cover the spread. I’m expecting a strong performance from Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. to finish the regular season on a positive note.
The Huskies are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings against the Cougars and they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road meetings vs. the Cougars.
Over/Under
It’s a Pac-12 showdown and these games tend to lead to plenty of points, so OVER 60.5 (-110) is where I’m leaning. Both teams are capable of scoring points in bunches and it should be a competitive game into the 4th quarter.
