The point total is set at 58 for this game with mixed decisions among the bettors. Eighty-eight percent of the point total bets are going toward the over, while 69% of the handle is going to the under.
Is the public right? No. Washington State is transitioning away from the air raid offense and getting more carries to the running backs with Deon McIntosh rushing for 147 yards on 18 carries with a touchdown last week. The ball will stay on the ground more often than not, keeping this point total lower than expected.
