Washington went 7-5 against the spread while Boise State finished 6-6. The Broncos are 4-0 against the spread in their last four bowl games.

Boise State ranks sixth in the country allowing 14.9 points per game while the Huskies are 37th at 23.8 points per game. The 46 point total is the lowest for either team this season.
