Chris’ Pick
I’m on the over big here. It’s really hard to split a side here as Washington’s still in the mix for the playoffs but Reser Stadium is such a hard place to go on the road and compete let alone win, but one thing’s for sure. This Washington pass attack can shred Oregon State through the air as that’s the one place that Oregon State’s been susceptible. Great against the run, not so much against the pass. On the flipside, Oregon State’s offense is consistently good across the board and Washington’s defense has been inconsistent as well, so I think we have a bit of an entertaining affair brewing here. Give me the over.
