San Diego State vs Washington State Prediction
You don’t want to overreact to one game and there are chances for adjustments, but Washington State barely beat Idaho and finished the game with 3 rushing yards. Three!!! I give you 10 carries, and you’re giving me more than three yards. That’s not great when going up against a San Diego State program that usually prides itself on physical play in the trenches. Washington State has failed to cover 5 of its last 6 games as a favorite, and 3 of those failed covers were outright losses. I just can’t get over the lack of ground game and close scare against Idaho. If that’s a sign of things to come, San Diego State wins this game outright. Give me the points.
