COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Washington is 2-0 and has allowed just 12 points per game, which is the biggest reason it is favored so heavily. The Huskies have also averaged 258.5 passing yards per game and 379 total yards per game, while Eastern Washington has leaned on Nate Bell and a balanced passing attack to average 388.7 total yards per game. Eastern Washington’s defense has been leaky, giving up 178.7 rushing yards per game and 232.0 passing yards per game, which is a tough setup against a deeper Power Four roster.
Washington should win comfortably, but the cleaner betting angle is the total because Eastern Washington has enough passing volume to help push the scoring into the low 60s. A projected final score of Washington Huskies 38, Eastern Washington Eagles 24 fits a game where the Huskies control possession and efficiency while Eastern Washington finds enough offense to contribute late points.
