Boise State Broncos vs. Washington State Cougars Prediction

I’m on the Cougars and the points here. Boise State’s the name brand of this conference and should be hefty road favorites here, but now Washington State’s started to find something and while the Cougars haven’t got the record to show for it, they’ve been able to compete in spots and I look for them to compete here as well. I’ll take my chances with Wazzu and the points here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Washington State +13.5
