Washington State Cougars vs Oregon State Beavers prediction
The Oregon State Beavers have played their best ball at home this season, where they’re 11-2 SU, but that’s not saying much. Oregon State is a below average PAC-12 team that just got its boots smoked by another subpar conference team in USC. The Washington State Cougars have had success on the road, they’re playing well right now, and they’ve won 5 of the last 6 meetings against Oregon State, which includes a 7 point win last month. Big chalk for a road team, but it’s an indication of just how awful Oregon State is at the moment. Give me the Cougars and the chalk.
