After an 8-4 regular season, the Washington State Cougars will look to square off against a ranked Syracuse team...Cougar fans would be happy if that were the only challenge to Friday's Holiday Bowl. However, the Cougs will have to deal with the loss of nearly all of their key players from 2024 to the transfer portal. That puts WSU in the position where they are three-score underdogs to the Orange.

Cougar fans looking to place a wager on the game can do so in a variety of ways (depending on the state you're in). See below for the game's spread, projected point total, and moneyline viaFanDuel.

Spread: Washington State + 17.5 (-110), Syracuse Orange +17.5 (-110) Point Total: O/U: 59.5, O:-110, U: -110 Moneyline: Washington State +610, Syracuse -950
