Boise St. Broncos vs Washington St. Cougars Predictions October 24, 2026
Boise State will beat Washington State, 31-21, with its demonstrated offensive production providing the strongest matchup advantage against a Cougars defense coming off a 555-yard concession. The Broncos are the stronger winner selection for October 24, but laying 12.5 points leaves a tougher decision. Neither the supplied spread nor the total of 51 offers a compelling wager; the official recommendation is Pass.
Boise St. Broncos vs Washington St. Cougars prediction and best bet
Boise State is the pick to win this 2026 college football matchup. Its 5-1 record and five-game winning streak offer a stronger foundation than Washington State’s 1-6 start. More specifically, the Broncos have exceeded 500 offensive yards three times this season, a meaningful strength against an opponent that struggled to contain Oregon State.
The best betting decision is Pass. Boise State’s advantages support the winner forecast, but a double-digit road spread demands a separate judgment about separation. Washington State’s scoring in its latest loss and Boise State’s seven-point victory over Fresno State leave enough uncertainty to keep the spread off the official card.
