The Cougars come in off a loss against Top-15 opponent and current Pac-12 South front-runner Colorado. The Cougars lost by a score 35-21 in an offense-oriented affair that saw Colorado’s bull rusher Phillip Lindsay keep NFL prospect QB Luke Falk off the field, limiting Wazoo’s chances to score.

Washington Huskies at Washington State Cougars Prediction
Let us not forget that the Cougars started off the season at 0-2. Things have drastically changed. Washington State has since bombarded the Pac-12. A win in Pullman for Wazoo puts them in position to play for a Rose Bowl bid, something that this team is not accustomed to partaking in. The Huskies have owned this rivalry series in recent years but they have not faced Washington State this good in any of these previous installments. As is said on a multitude of occasions, rivalry games are where upsets and shockers occur. When you throw in nearly a touchdown and home field advantage, the Cougars bode tremendous value. It is not unreasonable to believe that the Cougars cannot orchestrate a straight-up upset as this is their best chance to challenge the Purple and Gold since their last victory against the Huskies in 2012 in Pullman.
Free Pick:
Take Washington State +6.5
