Washington vs Oregon State Prediction

The current betting odds have Washington listed as a 6 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Washington only has 1 loss this season and they have looked really good in a lot of their games. This will be the 1st game of the conference schedule for both of these teams but Washington has gotten off to a much hotter start this year. Washington will be playing their 1st road game of the season here in this conference game which will be a very tough test for them, but they do have some momentum on their side with a 3 game win streak and a big win over Saint Mary's the other night. They will carry over that momentum into this game looking to start off their conference schedule with a big win, and they are playing a team that has already been struggling in their non-conference games. Oregon State is barely staying above .500 right now and they have not been winning many games as of late either. They have also taken some really bad losses to bad teams and Washington is not only playing better right now, but is a much better team in general. The best way to place a bet here is on Washington to cover the spread in this game.
