During football season, some of my most frequented websites are gambling sites. While on the surface that makes me sound like a degenerate gambler, the truth is bettors love stats so the various online gambling sites are loaded with interesting data.
If you head over to the WSU vs. OSU matchup page on Odds Shark, you'll find plenty of interesting numbers. Here are a few which caught my eye.
- WSU is 4-6 in their last 10 games against OSU, but just 2-8 against the spread. Over that time WSU is averaging just 2.8 yards per rush and 3.7 turnovers per game.
- Speaking of turnovers, the team with the fewest turnovers won seven of the last nine meetings.
- The over/under total has gone over seven of the last 10 times WSU has played OSU. The total is currently set at 56 so we could be in store for a shootout.
- WSU averages 39.0 rushing yards per game on the road (121 out of 124), OSU allows 35.0 rushing yards per game at home (2 out of 124). It's all on you Connor.
