wash state

Las Vegas - Quack quack. The Ducks are flying and up to #3 in the College Football Playoff Rankings, and Cougars are just flying UNDER the radar. Lemme spin a little story. All the ink and talking heads have concentrated on the Nick Rolovich story at Washington State. Obviously, that was/is a yuge story, but there's something else going on in Pullman. The Cougars have won four of their last five, but even MORE important, roll into Eugene with a gorgeous 6-0 PERFECTO against the spread. Yea, SIX & OH! The only straight up loss came against BYU, and it was a 21-19 squeaker. Strange as it sounds, Washington State would be tied at the top of the Pac 12 North with an upset win tomorrow. Not saying you should run to the counter and bet the money line, but at +14, we're talking about a very solid investment. You probably know most of the names at Oregon, but the Cougars have a kid at QB, Jayden de Laura, who can do some STUFF. What you should know about JdL is, he comes from Saint Louis High School in Honolulu, which has produced a couple of pretty decent QBs like Tua Tagovailoa, Marcus Mariota and Timmy Chang. de Laura LEADS the conference with 17 TD passes, and is second in yards per game at 245. Wanna talk D? State is on top of the Pac 12 with 20 takeaways (#5 in the country), and has 11 fumble recoveries. Gotta respect the Ducks 8-1 overall record, but at 3-6 against the spread, they're burning money. And with a trip to Utah on deck next week, Oregon might just be visiting 'look-ahead city.' Gimme PLUS 14 all day long.
