Washington vs Oregon State Prediction

The current betting odds have Washington listed as a 2.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Washington has looked really good all year with their 10-0 record overall and their 7-0 conference record. They are ranked 5th in the nation right now, trying to earn themselves a spot in the college football playoffs, and right now they are the only undefeated team left in the Pac-12. Oregon State has also looked really good this season with their 8-2 record overall and their 5-2 conference record as they are still holding out hope of making it to the Pac-12 Championship. They have been really good in their home games too with their 5-0 home record this season, but Washington truly does have one of the best teams in the country with Michael Penix Jr leading this offense and trying to win the Heisman Trophy too. Washington has plenty of motivation to win this game and keep rolling as there is too much on the line for them and they have the better team with more talent, especially on offense. The best way to place a bet here is on Washington to cover the spread in this game.
