Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Fresno State vs. Washington State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
This game will be a battle of 2 teams that lean heavily on their quarterbacks.
Fresno State QB Jake Haener, a transfer from Washington early in his career, has shown toughness and ability throughout the past 2 seasons with the Bulldogs. From being carted off the field in Sept., he has shown the perseverance to come back and battle with his teammates.
This was shown once again in the Bulldogs’ 28-16 victory over Boise State in the Mountain West championship game. A win that not only got them into this game but also avenged an early season 20-point loss to the same Broncos team.
