Prediction
While Boise State is roughly a touchdown favorite in this game, their defense is an area of concern. Of course, Washington State’s defense has also had its fair share of struggles. That said, this looks to be a game that could go back and forth all night.
The Cougars quarterback is off to a fantastic start this season and his ability to throw the ball downfield should give Washington State a fighting chance. For that reason, backing the Cougars to cover on Saturday will be our best bet.
Final Pick
Washington State Cougars +7.5 (-110)
