One team went 4-0 against the spread in November, exceeding bookmakers’ expectations by an average of 11 points per game. Then again, the other went 3-0 ATS in ts last three games, exceeding bookmakers’ expectations by an average of 11.8 points. But now one team is building toward a second season under Bronco Mendenhall, while Washington State is suddenly and rather unexpectedly without its head coach. That shift very well may yield ambivalence in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

This line has ballooned in response to Ohio's coach getting fired, but the other factors don't support the wide spread. The only team to beat the Bobcats by 7+ was Ohio State, and they have better metrics despite having faced a more difficult schedule.

It's a homecoming of sorts for Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele. The Cal QB appears committed to the program, and earning a win in this bowl would be a great boost. It's been a season of ups and downs for JKS, but when he's on, he's really on. Just look at his last game against SMU, where he went 31-40 for 330 yards and four TDs. Hawaii has an underrated defense, but in front of family, I'm betting JKS puts on a show and leads the Golden Bears to a win.
