This series has been dominated by Washington. The Huskies have won nine of the last 10 meetings with Beavers, a run that first-year head coach Kaleb DeBoer will look to improve upon at home on Friday night. The one loss during that stretch? That happened to come a year ago when Jonathan Smith’s Beavers nabbed a 27-24 victory at home.
The Beavers completed just seven of 15 pass attempts for 48 yards in last year’s win, showcasing how their style of play doesn’t need to look pretty to get results. Piling up 242 rushing yards and three scores on the ground, Smith’s squad proved to be the more physical team en route to a victory. They’ll look to utilize a similar game plan in this year’s game, considering the current forecast calls for an 81% chance of rain.
The Beavers have yet to receive any love in the betting market despite being a very profitable team in the Pac-12, going 6-2 against the spread this season. They have typically been a good team to back during this time of year as conference play heats up, going 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games in November. Oregon State has won three straight games, earning a No. 24 ranking in the AP Poll heading into Week 10.
It’s a testament to the underappreciated turnaround Smith has spearheaded for this program considering this is the first time they have been ranked since 2013. As for Washington, the calling card has been a superb passing attack averaging 379.3 passing yards per game — the highest mark in the nation.
Indiana transfer Michael Penix Jr. has been tremendous under his former coordinator with the Hoosiers, DeBoer. Penix leads the country with 2,934 passing yards while throwing for 22 touchdowns to only four interceptions. It’s quite possible that the Huskies’ passing attack is hampered somewhat by ugly weather.
Current forecasts call for 17 mph wins at kickoff, which benefits the Beavers’ style of play much more than it does the Huskies. The Beavers are 4-1 ATS against the Pac-12 this season and maybe undervalued yet again in Week 10.
