Key Number CFB- 2026 season EPA is poor on both offenses: Washington State -0.37/play and Duquesne -0.29/play.
- Washington State scored 17 and 7 in its two 2026 games; Duquesne scored 0 in its only 2026 game.
- Washington State's 79.1 PFF passing grade could break out against Duquesne's defense.
Saturday Board Pairs- 2026 efficiency sample: Duquesne posted -0.29 EPA/play, 31.9% success and 4.3% explosive rate in its one charted game.
- Washington State's two games show -0.25 and -0.49 offensive EPA/play, with only 38.7% and 32.7% success rates.
- FCS opponent and only one 2026 Duquesne efficiency row cap this at LEAN; the sample is not season-stable.

- Pinnacle full-game -38.5 scales to a +19.25 first-half mean; own 2024-25 CFB margin SD 14.77 gives 1H SD 10.45 (÷√2).
- At the exact 23.5 rung, the mean-plus-SD distribution gives Washington State margin ≤23.5 about 66%; Kalshi NO is 51¢.
- The adjacent 20.5 rung also points NO under the same distribution; I publish only the 23.5 rung, not a cross-rung comparison.
- Only two 2026 games for Washington State and one for Duquesne; current EPA and points-per-drive samples are thin.

Kickoff ScriptUp 2% last 7 daysWhy it likes it
- Recent first-half screen projects approximately 23 points, below the 30.5 threshold.
- Washington State scored 0 first-half points in each of its first two 2026 games.
- Duquesne scored 0 first-half points against Air Force; its offense ran only 20 first-half plays across five drives.
- The FBS-versus-FCS mismatch can create short fields or explosive scores that overwhelm the slow-script baseline.

- 2026 sample: Duquesne offense -0.29 EPA/play and 31.9% success; Washington State offense -0.37 and 35.7%.
- QB gate cleared: Carson Camp led Duquesne's last pass attempts; Washington State's official preview names Caden Pinnick.
- FCS opponent and only one 2026 Duquesne advanced row cap this at LEAN; prior-year data is a thin fallback.

- Pinnacle full-game 51.5; projected first-half drives are 10 of 20 full-game drives.
- Pace: Washington State averaged 31.07 sec/play; Duquesne 25.41; prior first-half drives were WSU 4/6 and Duquesne 5.
- Kalshi Over 30.5 moved from roughly 49.5% to 46.0%; that movement is directionally consistent with the under.
- Literal season PPD is unusable: WSU posted 0.00 and 0.91, Duquesne 0.00; applying it gives only 2.6 points, a rejected data-unit outlier.
