RJ's take: While no one was quite paying attention east of California, Jeff Tedford picked up former No. 1 overall recruit and USC EDGE Korey Foreman and handed him to a defense that has the talent to hunt the MWC title. But it's gonna be The Mikey Keene Show in Fresno. After throwing for 2,976 with 24 TDs and 10 INTs on a team that finished 9-4, including three losses in their last four games in 2023, a 3,500-yard, 35-TD, 10-INT season might be the difference between nine wins and winning Fresno State the MWC championship.

Fresno State's Win Total Odds: Over 8 (+110) Under 8 (-140)
