College basketball picks for Washington State vs. Boise State

Before tuning into the Boise State vs. Washington State  game, you need to see the college basketball picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model simulates every Division 1 college basketball game 10,000 times. It enters Week 5 of the 2024-25 season on a 170-123 betting roll (+2061) on all top-rated college basketball picks dating back to 2023. Anyone following at sportsbooks and on betting apps has seen huge returns. 

For Boise State vs. Washington State, the model projects that the Cougars cover the spread as 8.5-point underdogs. Washington State is no stranger to playing as a road underdog, as the Cougars just pulled off a huge upset at Nevada earlier this week. They were 11.5-point underdogs, but they took a 10-point lead going into halftime and never trailed in the second half of a 68-57 win. 

Sophomore guard Isaiah Watts led the way with 17 point and four rebounds, while sophomore forward LeJuan Watts had 13 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Junior guard Nate Calmese had a strong outing as well, finishing with 10 points, eight rebounds and seven dimes. Leading scorer Cedric Coward has been battling a shoulder injury and is questionable for this game. 

Boise State has already lost twice as a favorite this season, falling to San Fransisco in early November before getting upset as a 10-point favorite against Boston College in the Cayman Islands. The Broncos have only covered the spread once in their last six games, and the model has Washington State covering in 70% of simulations on Saturday. Stream the game here.
