Betting Trends for vs
The lack of experience will make it harder for the Beavers to be taken as a serious threat with only 3 starters coming back. The defense for the Beavers played really poorly last year. The one positive for Oregon State is their quarterback did get some playing time last year, but not sure if it was enough it was definitely more than what Washington State has at quarterback. Look for the lack of experience to be made up for by the number of starters coming back for Washington State which helps the Cougars get the win. Final Score Prediction, Washington State Cougars win and cover ATS 35-28.
