Why is Washington St getting +17 points?

How is Syracuse favored by +17 points?

I teased Wazzu with a few others and it looks like ez money.

1 HUGE reason the line is set where it is

Probably lots of sit out and transfer portal?

Only two offensive coaches left. They weren't even sure who was going to call the plays. And of course all the opt-outs.

I believe half the starters are gone, HC, OC, DC and QBC gone.

Syracuse missing maybe 3 contributors.

Could be a 52-10 game. 

Go study action sports transfer portal page

Kyle McCord is severely underrated.

Just to pile on, Wazzu has be hot garbage the last month of the season. Lost 3 straight to teams that didn't even get to 6-6.

Kyle McCord is the most underrated QB in college football. 

Wazzu is now without its head coach, offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and running backs coach.

• Starting WR Kris Hutson (signed with Arizona)
• Starting RT Fa'alili Fa'amoe
• Starting CB Ethan O¡¯Connor
• Starting CB Stephen Hall
• Starting LB Taariq Al-Uqdah
• Starting S Adrian Wilson
• Starting DT Ansel Din-Mbuh
• Starting DT David Gusta

• CB Jamorri Colson (132 snaps)
• CB Warren Smith (67 snaps)

In all, 10 starters have entered the portal for Washington State, which says it won't opt out of bowl as of Dec. 18.

With Mateer out it sounds like Zevi Eckhaus will get the start at quarterback for the Cougars.

This may have something to do with it

he has thrived in the low pressure situation at Syracuse.  Not so much in the high pressure situation that comes with being the OSU Starting Quarterback 

Good game to avoid.

ALL valid points 

I think it¡¯s the best game in here. Syracuse by 4 touchdowns easy

@Skiball57   thanks post #9  and 10

TOTALLY AGREE......................McCord is no slouch in his own right but Wash St goes as Mateer does running and throwing. Touch game

You bet GL
