Washington State Cougars vs. Seattle Redhawks Prediction

I’m on the Cougars and the points here. I just think that Washington State is not this many points worse than Seattle, who in my opinion is an 11-3 team in record on paper only as they haven’t been overly tested this season. The Cougars are more than capable enough of keeping this game close and potentially winning this game outright. I’ll take Washington State and the points here.
