Bet on Arizona vs. Washington State
Arizona has won 10 straight meetings with Washington State, going 9-1 against the spread in those 10 games. However, I like the Cougars with the points tonight. Arizona has not been covering, going just 1-6 ATS in its last seven. That includes a loss at Colorado and a close game at Stanford. Washington State hasn’t been covering either, but the Cougars are coming off a three-game road trip and should get a boost from returning home. The public betting is backing Arizona tonight, but I will take the home team with the big spread.
