The Washington State Cougars will host the Arizona Wildcats in Pullman tonight, and the visitors will be asked to cover a few points. The Cougars have suffered a few heart breaking losses in close games at home this season, but I think they'll pull out a win here tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Connor Halliday - The Cougars quarterback leads the nation in passing yards, and his 3344 yards are more than 500 more than any other quarterback in the country. He's thrown 28 TD passes this season, 21 of those coming at home.

2. Arizona Defense - The Wildcats defense has been vulnerable against the pass, allowing opponents to average 278 yards per game. They face their toughest test to date on the road against the #1 ranked Cougars passing game.

3. X-Factor - The Cougars are coming off a bye week, giving them plenty of time to draw up a game plan for tonight's game.

Selection: This is a play on the Washington State Cougars (10*)
