The current betting odds have Washington State listed as a 5.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is going to be the 1st game of the conference schedule for these teams and neither has really played in many games this season yet. Oregon has played a much tougher schedule in their 1st few games this season but they have also been getting blown out in a lot of their losses and have not been able to keep up with a lot of the good teams they have faced. They also have a record under .500 in their 1st 7 games while WSU is above .500 for the time being. WSU has had a weaker schedule and they have also played 2 less games as they are just 3-2 this season, but they have also been road tested this year with 2 road games already, going 1-1 in those. WSU will have a bit of an advantage having played on the road already and with this conference game coming so early in the season, both of these teams will be fighting to keep the game close and not put themselves in an early hole. The best way to place a bet here is on Washington State to cover the spread in this game.

"I'm really happy with our team. We played two NCAA Tournament caliber teams and played well. We had a chance to win both. We would've liked to win both, but we didn't.
