Washington vs Eastern Washington Prediction

I’m on Eastern Washington with the points here. I just don’t trust Washington to cover any sort of sizeable number as they’ve found themselves in close calls all season long. Eastern Washington does have some defensive concerns I’d be worried about down the road but I’m not overly concerned here. Give me the Eagles and the points.
