Washington State is off their big win over their in-state rival, Huskies, and this could be a potential flat spot for them. Emmett Brown used to be the backup for the Wildcats as this game will mean a little more to him if he can come into Pullman and pull off the upset. San Jose State will lean on their defense only allowing 41 points in three game as compared to the Wildcats defense that has allowed 65 points. When San Jose State is an underdog on the road of 12.5 points, or more, they’ve covered five of their last six.

Washington State has had back to back upsets over Texas Tech and Washington to put themselves on the map. Friday expect a test from San Jose State who have one of the top wide receivers in college football. 25 year old Nick Nash has 485 yards receiving and six touchdowns. Quarterback Emmett Brown also has a chance to defeat his old team as he was a backup quarterback at Washington State last season. Take the Spartans to hang within the double digit spread plus the points.

Both San Jose State and Washington State are 3-0 now and 3-0 against the spread. But the difference is the level of opponent beginning with Washington State who just beat Washington at Seattle and beat Texas Tech. San Jose State’s best win was against Air Force and the two other ones were against nobody's. That's why I firmly believe that San Jose State is out of their league in this matchup. Sophomore QB John Mateer still has some things to work out at quarterback but his running is next-level stuff, leads the team, and it's guided by the offensive line that returns four starters from last year. Washington State wins.
