Odds and Betting Insight
Washington State fares better against the spread (ATS) than Fresno State but the key stat to know is that Cougars games went under the projection nine times. Washington’s 3-9 record against the over marked one of the worst in FBS.
That’s not to say the Cougars’ games can’t be high-scoring affairs, though, as each of their last four games has featured at least 46 points.
Fresno State has covered in three straight games and four of five, while the under has cashed in its last two victories.
