The Oregon State Beavers won their 3rd straight game and improved to 3-1 on the season after defeating the USC Trojans, 45-27, this past Saturday. In their most impressive showing of the season, Oregon State had no trouble pulling away after a 1-yard TD run by Jack Colletto gave the Beavers a 35-17 lead with 6:33 left in the 3rd quarter.

The Huskies are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss, however, are just 5-11 ATS in their last 16 road games. The Beavers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS win and 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games overall.
Washington came into this season with high expectations, however, the Huskies just haven’t looked like that strong of a team as their offense lacks weapons while their defense has struggled against decent offenses, highlighted by allowing Michigan to put up 31 points against them. Oregon State has been solid on both sides of the ball this season and as I think their balanced offensive attack will have no trouble putting up points at home against the Huskies, I think the Beavers winning streak continues and that they cover this spread. Good Luck!
