Form and Matchup

Washington State is 1-6, on a four-game losing streak, averaging 20.1 points while giving up 27.1. The common-opponent read is direct: against Utah State, Boise State won 37-18 and Washington State lost 16-17. Against Fresno State, Boise State won 38-31 and Washington State lost 6-26. Both comparisons point the same direction.
The Number
Boise State is a -13.5 road favorite at Martin Stadium. Washington State pulled off a 48-7 win over Duquesne at home earlier this season, so they can score, but they have not been competitive against anyone resembling this Broncos squad. The spread is wide on the road, which at least gives Washington State backers something to hang a case on.
How to play it
The community lean is strong and the common-opponent data backs it up. Washington State covers only if the Broncos come out flat, which a five-game win streak does not suggest.
