What Cougars Team Turns Up?

The Cougars looked good beating the likes of Texas Tech and Washington, especially considering what Washington has achieved since. However, those wins came at home, and they didn’t show up against Boise State on the road last week.

The 45-24 loss was a poor showing for Washington State, and we’re not sure which team will turn up on Saturday to face Fresno State. Teams often fail to get up for road games, and that could be the case for the Cougars.

There is some trepidation with college football betting markets, which have the Cougars at only -3½, and we don’t expect much money to come for them throughout the week. Having allowed 97 points over the last two weeks, getting excited about Washington State’s defense is tough, which is why the line is close.

There are too many questions about the Washington State Cougars to back them with confidence. We need to see what they do over the next couple of weeks to part with our hard-earned money, despite being favorites to win outright at -170.

Home Cooking for Fresno State

Speaking of teams who don’t handle the pressure of playing on the road, the Bulldogs have been awful in their last two road games, losing to New Mexico 38-21 before losing to UNLV 59-14.

Luckily for our expert College Football betting picks, Fresno State are back at home, and bettors should expect its performance to improve. We’re looking at its wins over NMSU (48-0) and Sacramento State (46-30) as better form guides.

Sure, the Bulldogs haven’t faced teams like Washington and Texas Tech, but they should be full of confidence upon their return home, and the market suggests they’ll be tough to beat.

Quarterback Mikey Keene hasn’t been the most consistent passer in the league, but he has Mac Dalena as a receiver, and we have been impressed with the young wide receiver. He has 501 yards and four touchdowns on 22 receptions, so he’s getting the job done.

If Keene can link up with his star receiver, Fresno State Bulldogs could put points on the board and cover the college football spread.

Fresno State Picked in OT

We envison Washington State vs Fresno State going into overtime, so we’re backing the Bulldogs to cover the +3½ spread.

There is also excellent value in taking the over, which is 60½ points. It’s a high line, but with both offenses looking solid and their defense looking bad, it should be a points fest in Fresno.

Take a same-game parlay for your college football predictions to get the best value. Make the most of the situation by backing Fresno State +3½ to hold down the fort against a team that hates playing on the road. It should be an exciting game where touchdowns are scored on most drives.
