Washington State at Oregon picks and predictions
Prediction
Oregon 36, Washington State 31
Moneyline
The Cougars have lost 2 straight games and scored a combined 23 points in those losses. Oregon has scored no fewer than 33 points in a game this season.
It appears highly unlikely Washington State will pull off the outright upset and betting a moneyline at -1100 is not worth the risk.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Ducks have covered the spread in every game this season. Four of their 5 wins have been by at least 36 points.
Oregon has won the last 4 meetings with the Cougars but has not won by more than 14 points in those victories.
Conference games are unpredictable. I expect a bounce-back game from Washington State to be competitive, but ultimately losing. You have to take the points here.
BET WASHINGTON STATE +20.5 (-115).
Over/Under
The last 4 meetings of the 2 teams, and 8 of the last 10, have had totals of more than 61 points.
Four of Oregon’s 6 games have surpassed this week’s projected total.
BET OVER 61.5 (-105).
