Washington State Cougars Football (NCAA)

The analysts discuss the outlook for the Washington State football program following significant coaching changes and conference realignment. Despite the instability of the "Pac-2" situation, the sentiment remains generally positive regarding the program's ability to remain competitive.

• Coaching Transitions: The program has seen high turnover, with former head coach Jimmy Rogers leaving for Iowa State after just one year. The new head coach is Kirby Moore, a former Boise State wide receiver and offensive coordinator at Missouri.
• Offensive Outlook: The offense is expected to take a "big step forward" under Moore and new offensive coordinator Matt Miller (formerly of Montana State).
  • Key additions include QB Caden Pinnock (transfer from UC Davis) and WR Darius Clemens (transfer from Michigan/Oregon State).
  • The analysts highlighted the "quarterback culture" at Wazoo, citing past successes like Gardner Minshew and Cam Ward.
• Defensive Outlook: The defense was elite last year (ranked 15th nationally) but is expected to regress due to losing all starters to the NFL or the transfer portal (many following the old DC to Iowa State).
  • New DC Trent Bray (formerly Oregon State head coach/DC) is highly regarded but faces a "tall order" with only 36% of defensive production returning.
• Schedule Difficulty: The schedule is described as "ridiculous" and "fucking hard," featuring 11 games against high-level opponents, including Washington (Apple Cup), Kansas State, Boise State, and Fresno State.

Takeaways

• Win Total Bet: The current win total is set at 4.5. Both analysts lean toward the Over, predicting a 6-6 season and bowl eligibility.
• Betting Strategy: Look for value on Washington State as an underdog in the Apple Cup against Washington; one analyst mentioned taking the points with a spread potentially around +21.5.
• Platform Note: The analysts recommend checking Bet MGM for the win total, as they offer a 12-game price, whereas DraftKings (DK) may only offer an 11-game price due to scheduling complexities.
• Longshot Odds: The team is listed at +1100 to win the (reconstituted) Pac-12 and +10,000 to make the College Football Playoffs.
