Washington State appears to be underrated this season as it has gotten off to a 5-3 start, and the Cougars have won all five of their home games. Rider is only 1-4 on the road, including blowout losses to West Virginia and Hofstra. The Cougars are led by Robert Franks, who averages 24.4 points per game, followed by CJ Elleby (14.4 points per game). And Franks also pulls down eight rebounds per game. Washington State brought in several transfers, and so far it has worked out as the Cougars are 11-4 ATS their last 15 games dating to last season. Rider has covered just two of seven games this season and has shown very little against tough competition. The Broncs had only one double-figure scorer in their win over Robert Morris on Saturday, and that was Stevie Jordan with 17 points. The Cougars, surprisingly, are just a small favorite in this matchup. Go with Washington State on the moneyline.
