Oregon State is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games while the over is 5-0 in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record. Washington State is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 conference games.
I get the case that could be made for either side here, but I’m going to side with the over in this one manly because of history between these two teams. Eight straight overs, and the total at the end of the game has been at least 11 points above the total in six of those eight games. These teams just like to punish each other on the scoreboard and I think this game is no different.
