Washington State @ Stanford

Current Records: Washington State 4-4; Stanford 3-5

What to Know

The Stanford Cardinal haven't won a contest against the Washington State Cougars since Oct. 31 of 2015, but they'll be looking to end the drought Saturday. Stanford and Washington State will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 3:30 p.m. ET at Stanford Stadium. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

Things couldn't have gone much worse for the Cardinal as they lost 38-13 to the UCLA Bruins last week. Stanford was down 31-6 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. One thing holding Stanford back was the mediocre play of QB Tanner McKee, who did not have his best game: despite one touchdown, he threw one interception with only 3.97 yards per passing attempt.

Meanwhile, Washington State was within a late touchdown of stealing the win, but they took the "L" against the Utah Utes 21-17. Washington State's defeat came about despite a quality game from QB Cameron Ward, who passed for one TD and 222 yards on 31 attempts in addition to punching in one rushing touchdown.

The Cardinal are expected to lose this next one by 3. Currently 2-4 against the spread, they haven't been a good investment; on the other hand, the Cougars are 4-2 ATS.

Stanford was close but no cigar when the two teams previously met in October of last year as they fell 34-31 to Washington State. Maybe Stanford will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the matchup and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
