- FanDuel promo code offers up to $350 in bonus bets for users who wager $5+ across seven days, with Sunday's Apple Cup between Washington State and Washington among the marquee Week 1 matchups eligible
- SportsLine Projection Model has been upgraded for the 2026 season to factor in transfer portal movement and sits on a 32-19 run on top-rated CFB money-line picks since 2024, simulating every FBS game 10,000 times
- Washington State +23.5 (-110) is SportsLine's top spread pick, with the model projecting the Cougars cover in 63% of simulations despite Washington winning 10 of the last 12 meetings in the rivalry
- Under 50.5 (-104) is the model's total play, hitting in 56.8% of simulations; the Huskies return a chunk of last season's elite defense while Washington State faces heavy defensive turnover via the transfer portal
- Demond Williams Jr. headlines Washington's roster as the Huskies look to extend a run that includes a 59-24 rout of the Cougars a year ago, though both of Washington State's recent wins in the series came in Seattle — Sunday's host city
Why it matters: The promo gives new FanDuel users low-stakes entry ($5+/seven days) into Week 1 college football action, while the SportsLine model's two picks frame the Apple Cup as a defensive grinder: a 23.5-point spread that the model says is inflated given the Cougars' recent Seattle track record, and a total that accounts for transfer portal-driven turnover on Washington State's defense.
