Washington State vs #4 Washington NCAAF Week 13 Betting Odds

Week 13 is arguably the biggest weekend on the college football calendar, as we will see a lot of things decided in terms of conference and playoff races. MyBookie Sportsbook Regular Season Football Betting Preview | Washington State vs #4 Washington

Yes, we still have the Conference Championship Games to come next weekend, but there is just something a little special about rivalry week, especially when the outcome of some of those games can prove to be make or break for the teams involved. One of the biggest games of the weekend sees the Washington State Cougars and Washington Huskies prepare to do battle, with the Huskies very much looking at a spot in the final four, where they currently reside. This is a must win for Washington if they are to be playoff bound, but these rivalry games tend to be more than a little problematic. The Huskies are currently a 16-point favorite, with the total set at 68.

TV: FOX

Washington State Cougars

This game is about more than just playing the role of spoiler for the Cougars, as they need this one to become bowl eligible. They are currently sitting at 5-6 on the season, and as we all know, 6 wins is the benchmark for teams looking to head to a bowl game. It has been a rough season for Washington State, who totally crumbled after a very decent start. They are coming off a win last weekend over Colorado, but that one ended a 6-game losing streak that could well have sunk their season. Perhaps the most alarming aspect of that losing skid was that they lost 3 of those games after starting as a favorite, so this very much looks like a team that is more than a little fragile, although that big win over the Buffaloes may have restored some confidence.

Washington Huskies

For the longest time, it looked as though the Playoff Committee was going to totally overlook the Washington Huskies and leave them on the outside looking in. That said, with Michigan and Ohio State, both of whom are in the top 4, set to meet this weekend, the Huskies knew that a win over their rivals this Saturday would put them in a playoff spot. They got a very pleasant surprise on Tuesday night, though, with the Committee placing them in as the #4 seed. They will want to move up a spot or two more in the next couple of weeks, as staying in the #4 spot might well mean having to face the Georgia Bulldogs in the playoff semi-final, which is not a matchup that any team really wants at this stage of the proceedings.

If you want more info on the stats and betting trends for both teams, we have you covered there. We will create another article delivering all that info, as well as delivering a score prediction of our own.

Washington State Cougars at Washington Huskies: Team Stats & Betting Trends

Its rivalry week in college football, and while some of the matchups have little more than pride at stake, there are a bunch that have conference and playoff implications. Teams that are undefeated at the moment could potentially see their playoff hopes go up in smoke with a trip and fall at what is basically the final hurdle. For some of those teams, a trip to the Conference Championship Game could present one more opportunity to impress the Playoff Committee, but the nature of that loss could prove to be a deciding factor. For the teams still in the playoff hunt, the task this weekend is simple, and that is to win and stay alive for another week. One of the more meaningful games this weekend sees the Washington State Cougars hit the road to face the Washington Huskies, a team that finally made it into the top 4 in the most recent rankings. The Huskies are a clear favorite at odd of -16, but this is always a tricky one. The point total for this game is set at 68.

Washington State Cougars Stats and Trends

When you look at what Washington has done this season, it is more than a little clear that the Cougars offense is going to need to be at the top of their game, as this matchup is likely to fall into shootout territory. The Cougars have proven that they can air the ball pout, though, as they are averaging 338 YPG in passing, good for 4th in the nations. Their run game is not as strong, managing just 85 YPG on the ground, while they are scoring 33 PPG, which is solid. The defense is surrendering 28 PPG, which has them just inside the top 100.

With their win over Colorado last weekend, the Cougars snapped a 6-game losing streak, but they have similar issues against the Huskies in terms of trying to pick up wins. In their last 9 meetings with the Huskies, Wazzu has won just once. They are 2-5 ATS over their last 7 games, but have a worse record versus Washington, going 1-7 ATS in their last 8 meetings with their rivals. The OVER has hit in 4 of their last 5 games.

Washington Huskies Stats and Trends

The Huskies are all about the air attack, as they love to toss the pigskin all over the field. They are averaging 358 YPG through the air, which is the best in the nations. They are definitely a pass heavy team, putting up 124 YPG on the ground, which has them sitting outside the top 100. In terms of the defense, they are giving up 23 PPG, while scoring 39 PPG, a number that has them in the top 10 in scoring.

The Huskies come into the final weekend of the regular season sitting at 11-0, and while that stat is impressive, even more encouraging is the fact that they are now on a 13-game unbeaten run in their own building. In terms of the point spread, they have been solid in the month of November, covering in 5 of their last 6 games played in that month. In their last 10 games against conference foes, the OVER has hit 7 times.

College Football Score Prediction

This is a must win game for the Huskies, which is essentially where they have been for the second half of the season as they look to stay unbeaten and in the playoff hunt. They have handled that pressure well and I assume they will do so again this weekend.
