6* Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Washington State +3.5
The Key: After sweeping the season series from Arizona, the Bruins won't be able to help looking past a Washington State squad they have defeated eight consecutive times. The Cougars have lost 9 in a row, but have been competitive at home. They lost to Oregon by only 2 points in OT in their last home game. They have also been competitive at home against UCLA. They lost by just 3 points in last season's home meeting with the Bruins and by only 4 points in the 2011 home meeting. It bodes well for us that Washington State enters off a 4-point loss at Washington. That's because it is 8-1 ATS in home games after a loss by 6 points or less over the last 3 seasons. It has won by an average score of 73.2 to 60.8 in this spot. The Bruins are a soft 8-15 ATS as a favorite this season and 2-9 ATS after a game where they covered the spread this season. Lastly, the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Take the points.
