Washington State Cougars Favored to Dominate Oregon State Beavers in Redemption Matchup

Last season's matchup resulted in a 38-35 victory for the Cougars, who were +2.5 underdogs playing at home. Washington State enters this game as the stronger team, seeking redemption after a recent upset. The Beavers' performance in their last game was underwhelming, especially with their top offensive player only receiving six touches and being held to zero points. The coaching decisions made by the struggling Beavers have hindered their potential success this season. Conversely, the Cougars have been performing exceptionally well, particularly their quarterback Mateer who has thrown 13 touchdown passes without any interceptions in the last four games. With a strong passing game, Washington State is likely to exploit the Beavers' weak pass defense, which has been allowing over 200 yards per game. The Cougars have a successful record against Oregon State and are favored to win this game. It is recommended to bet on the Cougars covering the spread.
