Washington State vs Bradley Prediction

I’m on Washington State. I get why you could look at Bradley as they had the more sound defensive performance in the opener. However, Washington State’s offense is legit, and this is a team that can pour it on and score points in bunches. I think that Washington State gets the job done and bags the win and cover here.
