Washington State vs Davidson Prediction 

Davidson was able to get a blowout victory to start the season, but they played a non-D1 team, so we didn’t really learn much about them. Washington State really struggled against Idaho and they have to clean up their defense if they want to have any success this year. The Cougars allowed Idaho to shoot 50% from the field, so I expect Davidson to have plenty of success on offense. I think we will see plenty of scoring in this game, so I like the over here.
