Stanford vs Washington State Prediction

WSU is coming into this game as a 6 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. WSU played a lot better in their last game beating Utah by 16 points on the road. They should have a much easier time with Stanford here at home. Stanford has been playing well recently but they have struggled on the road this season with a 0-3 record. They are also coming off of a massive win at home against the undefeated USC, handing them their first loss of the season. Now they have to go on the road for their very next game and this is probably going to be a let down game for them coming off of that big win. The best bet to place in this game is on WSU to cover the spread here.
