Game Analysis
Monstrous 37.5-point line for Washington State over Duquesne in a classic FBS-vs-FCS buy game. Without detailed models, the spread is essentially a coin flip; WSU's talent advantage suggests covering possible, but backdoor covers are common. Total of 53.5 leans over given expected scoring margins, but no sharp action to confirm. Moneyline juice is prohibitive — skip it entirely. This is a stay-away card for serious edge hunting.
