Bowl season begins earlier and earlier. The LA Bowl between the Boise State Broncos and the Washington Huskies kicks off only six days after the matchup was announced.

It may seem like a usual game week, but that kind of quick turnaround should be factored in. My Boise State vs. Washington predictions and college football picks expect conservative game plans despite the usual nature of a bowl game.

Kickoff comes at 8:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, December 13.

Boise State vs Washington predictions for the LA Bowl

Who will win the LA Bowl?

One could look at Boise State’s three-game winning streak and suggest the Broncos closed the season strong. But that would be a bit imprecise.

Boise State needed to come back from a 21-10 deficit at Utah State in the regular-season finale to thus reach the Mountain West title game. As much as the Broncos finished the season strong, they tempted all sorts of fates of it ending terribly.

Give deference to the better team, Washington.

Boise State vs Washington best bet: Under 53.5 (-113)

In normal circumstances, the Washington Huskies would win the LA Bowl with ease. But normal circumstances would include an offseason with plenty of study on the Boise State Broncos and some amount of each week spent keeping tabs on the Broncos. 

Normal circumstances would have included an outlined game plan ready by Monday for the Huskies roster to start studying.

Instead, this bowl game was settled only on Sunday afternoon. Coaches had barely watched film by Monday. Game plans were possibly not installed until the teams were already traveling to Los Angeles.

We saw conservative game plans to open bowl season last year, with South Alabama beating Western Michigan, 30-23. They barely fell short of the total of 54, but credit four explosive scores from the Jaguars for that sweat.

Neither of these defenses are likely to give up such explosives, certainly not if the offenses keep things vanilla. How exotic could Washington head coach Jedd Fisch possibly get this week while he continues to sniff around other jobs?

Boise State vs Washington same-game parlay

Demond Williams burst onto the scene in last year’s Sun Bowl, throwing for 374 yards and four touchdown passes on 25-of-32 passing. His first season as a starter included too many losses, but he still threw for multiple touchdowns in seven of his last 10 games.

Our deep-ball SGP: The Williams show

Despite going just 6-6 against the spread this season and 6-6 into totals, Washington and Demond Williams cashed this exact parlay in mid-October. In fact, Williams ran for two touchdowns against Rutgers.

Cashing this once out of 11 FBS games may not sound terribly promising, but it is a better rate than this payout suggests.

Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame’s standing in each year’s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds.

In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports’ futures markets.

While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.
