The college football bowl season begins this weekend with a couple early matchups, one of them being an interesting Mountain West-Big Ten clash between the Boise State Broncos and the Washington Huskies in the Bucked Up LA Bowl. The 9-4 Broncos were crowned Mountain West Champions with their 38-21 win over UNLV in the title game. Meanwhile, Washington finished its second season in the Big Ten with an 8-4 record. At the time of writing, the expectation is that both teams will be at or near full strength, though it sounds like Boise State could have a couple of opt-outs from their future NFL players like LT Kage Casey and S Ty Benefield.

Washington Huskies -9.5 over Boise State Broncos (-110)
The Broncos didn’t look good when they stepped up in level of competition this season. They scored just 14 combined points against Notre Dame and USF, surrendering 62 combined in the process. Meanwhile, the Huskies took care of business against inferior teams aside from their trips out east, where they have been notably bad since joining the Big Ten.
As soon as this matchup was known, Washington coach Jedd Fisch was confident the Huskies would have everyone available for this game. The sentiments from Boise State coach Spencer Danielson didn’t sound so confident about his Broncos.
I view the Huskies as a class above the Broncos. Washington has been better down-to-down both in terms of PPA per play and success rate over the last 5 weeks of the season, and the Huskies obviously had the more difficult schedule along the way. Moreover, the Huskies have been top-15 in PPA per rush and rushing success rate allowed since Week 10, which is where Boise State begins its offensive attack.
Jonah Coleman (WASH) 2+ Touchdowns (+160)
By all indications, Washington running back Jonah Coleman will be active for this game. Obviously, we don’t know how many snaps he will take. There’s a chance he plays for a drive, a quarter, a half, or the full game. Unless we’re explicitly told ahead of time, we will never know. His anytime touchdown odds are a little too juicy for me to consider with the playing time uncertainty, even for a same game parlay. However, his 2+ touchdown odds are much more palatable.
Coleman has scored multiple touchdowns 4 different times this year, and he has a very juicy matchup against a Boise State run defense that is outside the top 100 in PPA per rush and outside the top 65 in rushing success rate since the end of October.
Demond Williams Jr. (WASH) Longest Rush Over 17.5 Yards (-115)
Continuing to pick on Boise State’s run defense, let’s add the over on Washington QB Demond Williams Jr.’s longest rushing prop for the final leg of the LA Bowl Same Game Parlay. Williams has surpassed this total in 8 games this season and is a big part of Washington’s rushing attack. Meanwhile, Boise State has surrendered an explosive run of at least 18 yards to close to, if not every mobile quarterback on its schedule.
