Tips and predictions for San Jose State vs Washington State

forecast

Washington State 34, San Jose State 20

Money line

Washington State (-500) will cost you five times your potential win, and that's way too much risk for nowhere near enough gain. While the Cougars are certainly more battle-tested than San Jose State (+375), having beaten two Power 4 teams in the last two weekends, the Spartans still boast a pristine record.

HAPPEN.

Against the spread

Back WASHINGTON STATE -12.5 (-110) at home in the Palouse. The Cougars are playing good football right now and Mateer is by far the best player on the field. He will be the difference against San Jose State +12.5 (-110), which is undefeated, but honestly, who has played that?

While the Spartans have been good defensively over the last two games, this is a team that allowed 24 points to FCS Sacramento State, so be careful.

Over/Under

UNDER 55.5 (-110) is the slim one, but go with a Half-unit game maximum.

In 2 games against FBS opponents, the Spartans averaged 24.0 PPG and allowed just 8.5 PPG, which is 2 under.

The Cougars have also been low on scoring in two games against FBS opponents, averaging 30.5 PPG and allowing just 17.5 PPG. We should have another under result in hand here.
