It’s the first of two matchups between the Washington State Cougars and Oregon State Beavers that will decide the conference winner, as they’re the only two teams still in the Pac 12.
The visiting Cougars are pegged as 3.5-point road favorites in the college football odds, somewhat of a surprise, as OSU has just one win on the year and is one week removed from firing its head coach.

Washington State vs Oregon State prediction
Washington State vs Oregon State best bet: Washington State -3.5 (-118)
The Washington State Cougars haven’t had a particularly good season, but after playing both the Mississippi Rebels and Virginia Cavaliers tight in losses, they finally got a win last time out by dumping Toledo 28-7. That evened their record at 4-4 heading into this biggie on Saturday.
The Cougars’ strength has been defense, as they’re inside the Top 40 in passing yards allowed, and rank 42nd in total yards at 336.2. They are allowing 24.6 points per game, but they’ve been even stingier of late, allowing an average of just 16 points per game.
There’s a far different story brewing on the other side of the field, where the Oregon State Beavers started the year 0-7, leading to the firing of head coach Trent Bray.
The early returns were good under interim boss Robb Akey, but their first win of the year was against FCS-level Lafayette.
Oregon State ranks outside the Top 120 in the nation in points allowed, an average of 32.8 per contest. They are getting shredded through the air to the tune of 259.8 yards per game, while getting gashed for 152.9 yards on the ground.
The only reason this has some intrigue is because of Washington State’s offensive struggles (21.5 points per game), and the fact that anything can happen in one-off tilts that have a ton riding on it.
In the end, the Cougars are a far better squad that will take care of business with that small line.
Washington State vs Oregon State same-game parlay
Washington State’s defense will play a major role in the Under hitting, as they’ve helped preserve it in four straight games.
The Cougars haven’t been great starters this year, taking a two-point lead or greater after the opening quarter just twice in eight games this season, but the opponent makes this a must add-on to a parlay.
Oregon State has found itself trailing after the first quarter five times in their eight tilts, including two of the last three games. On four occasions, it’s been by at least a touchdown.
