Pick via FOX Sports betting analyst Geoff Schwartz:

The Apple Cup in the Palouse with a 7:30 p.m. local kick – have to love the home Cougars in this spot. 

The forecast for Saturday night in Pullman is cold with wet weather, either freezing rain or snow. This is not ideal for Washington’s high-powered passing attack facing the best defense they’ve seen all season. The Cougars are ranked 12th in defensive efficiency and 21st in points per drive. They are equipped to slow down Washington’s passing attack, which we’ve seen is possible when they play better defenses like Oregon State and Cal.

Yes, I am concerned about Washington State’s offense in the cold and wet conditions. The Cougars can run the ball, although they mostly choose to ignore that part of their offense. They have a shaky offensive line which can lead to pressure and mistakes from quarterback Cam Ward. 

However, Washington’s defense should not provide much resistance. I like the home Cougars to pull a small upset in this game.

PICK: Washington State (+2 at FOX Bet) to lose by fewer than 2 points (or win outright)
