Point Spread: -5½/-110 Boise State

Sportsbook: TopBet

Result: Loss

Saturday's winner is Boise State over Washington.

The name of the game here is defense. BSU gives up a paltry 14.9 PPG. they have held 8 of their L12 foes to 14 or less points but the more impressive stat is being +18 in TOs. This is one experienced post-season team, making their 11th straight Bowl appearance, including their 3rd straight MAACO BOWL. They know this stadium well. QB, Southwick threw for 7 TDs and more importantly, 0 INTs in his L3 outings. The back field of Harper and Ajayi have teamed-up for 1606 YR and 19 scores. This doesn't bode well for a Washington defense that has allowed 164.3 YPG on the ground. Washington was erratic at best on offense, averaging just 23.8 PPG on the season. Overall, the team suffered some outright losses as a favorite and some real blowouts as a 'dog. Their inconsistency on offense mixed with their weak defense will be fatal here. Take Boise State. Thank you.
