5 minWashington vs. Oregon State Prediction: Can DJ Uiagalelei, Beavers Ruin Washington's Season?
Even though my Rebels play tomorrow, I have to say this is the game I am the most excited about by far. The undefeated Washington Huskies are traveling to Corvallis, Oregon for a battle with the Oregon State Beavers at Reser Stadium. I love this spot at home for the Beavers in a ranked bout between two elite teams.

Washington vs. Oregon State Prediction
The Oregon State beavers are 16-1 at home, both on the money line and against the spread since 2021. I see no reason to not ride with them as home favorites here. They are 16th in the nation for YPP, are a top tier rushing offense already, and face a Huskies secondary that has been getting slaughtered this year. This line screams Beavers and for good reason, this is probably the most well-balanced offense in the Pac-12, and Washington's defensive woes have made games scary for them lately.
They still are an elite squad, there is no knocking a 10-0 record in todays game. Michael Penix Jr. is exceptional, but with a defense ranked 122nd against the pass, Oregon State QB DJ Uiagalelei is going to have a field day on the other side. Penix will need to elevate the offense massively to keep his team in the game. The Heisman contender has the talent to do it, but this is a tough test on the road, in a game expected to see some bad weather.
Washington has everything in the world to play for: the Heisman, CFP, Natty. I know that in some ways that motivation is good, but that is also a lot of pressure, and I think it all has the potential to be too much here for the Huskies.
