Why the Washington State Cougars will win

• Idaho has lost the first half in seven of its last nine road night games against non-conference opponents.

Idaho vs Washington State Prediction

The Idaho Vandals have lost five straight games against division one opponents and have failed to cover all of those games as well. The Washington State Cougars need to get sharper defensively, but their offense is on fire through two games and that should be enough to lead them to another comfortable home victory. Washington State is lighting it up from the outside and Idaho just doesn’t have the horses to respond. The only thing potentially holding Washington State back is this being a look-ahead spot with Iowa on deck.
