Randy’s Free Pick
The Washington State Cougars have been the better team this season, and they’re playing the better ball right now. However, the gap isn’t that great and this is a rivalry game where you can often throw the numbers out the window. The Washington Huskies will be up for this game, and the home team has won the last 3 meetings. Give me the Huskies.
