Boise State vs Washington Preview & Prediction

Moneyline: Washington (-370)
Total: 53.0
Washington Huskies Betting Preview
Washington strolls into the LA Bowl as a 10 point favorite, which is Vegas politely saying they believe the Huskies brought the bigger toolbox, the better blueprints, and fewer emotional scars. This is bowl appearance number fourteen in the last sixteen seasons, which basically means Washington treats bowl season like an annual holiday tradition. Some families decorate trees. Washington packs helmets.
The Huskies spent last weekend resting while Boise State was busy body slamming UNLV for another Mountain West title. That rest matters. Legs are fresh. Ice baths were plentiful. Netflix queues were cleared. And now Washington shows up ready to remind everyone that their losses came against the heavyweight wing of the Big Ten. Losing to Ohio State, Oregon, and Michigan is not embarrassing. That is just surviving a bear fight.
Quarterback Demond Williams Jr. has been the engine all season, throwing for nearly 3,000 yards while also deciding running is fun too. Add Jonah Coleman bulldozing defenders near the goal line and Denzel Boston turning touchdowns into a personal hobby, and Washington has enough firepower to keep the scoreboard operator busy.
Historically, Washington either crushes Boise State or loses close. There is no in between. The average Huskies win in this matchup looks like a demolition project, which explains the hefty spread.
Boise State Broncos Betting Preview
Boise State is back in bowl season for the twenty second time in twenty seven years, which is absurd consistency. If bowl games handed out loyalty punch cards, Boise State would already have a free sandwich. They come in hot after winning the Mountain West and riding a three game win streak, but let us not pretend this season was pure magic.
The Broncos stubbed their toe early, got humbled by Notre Dame, and spent most of the year grinding instead of dazzling. Maddux Madsen has been steady, Dylan Riley broke the thousand yard rushing barrier, and the defense flies around like it drank too much energy drink. This is a tough team, just not a flashy one.
Boise State thrives when games get ugly, weird, and stressful. Unfortunately for them, Washington prefers games that look organized, efficient, and mildly terrifying for opponents.
Prediction
Washington is rested, deeper, and historically dangerous in this matchup. Boise State will fight, scrap, and annoy everyone for a while, but the Huskies’ athletic edge shows over four quarters. The Total sits at 53, and both teams can score enough to flirt with it.
Final Score: Washington 34, Boise State 20
