Washington State vs Oregon State Prediction
The Washington State Cougars aren't world beaters, and Oregon State should be motivated for this game given its senior night. There are 20 seniors on this Oregon State roster. With that said Oregon State is piling up the losses and has scored a combined 20 points in its last 3 games. The Oregon State Beavers are also 2-8 ATS this season despite being big underdogs most weeks. This has nothing to do with Washington State, it is a fade of Oregon State. Give me Washington State.
