The betting line has shifted significantly in Oregon State’s favor since it opened at UW -1. That means that most of the money has come in on the Beavs and Vegas has to make the bet more enticing to those backing Washington to get their money on the table. From a strictly gambling point of view, it would be good to take the Dawgs +2.5 since Vegas initially pegged them as slight favorites, so that even a narrow loss would cash a winning ticket. But as Husky fans interested in the Pac-12 Championship Game and the College Football Playoff, cashing a betting slip would be cold comfort in a losing effort.
The Prediction: #11 Oregon State Beavers
