      • Charted per-play sample favors Cal Poly: -0.02 offensive EPA/play versus -0.14, and 0.44 success rate versus 0.40.
      • Eastern Washington has home-field advantage, and the mild 5, 7 mph forecast supplies no situational weather boost to the road side.

      • 2026 current-game data: Cal Poly posted +0.05 offensive EPA/play and 49.3% success; Eastern Washington posted -0.04 and 42.0%.
      • Cal Poly's defensive EPA/play was +0.12 versus Eastern Washington's +0.59 in the only current-season game for each team; the matchup projects closer than the favorite's reputation.
      • The projection rests on one 2026 game per team; Cal Poly faced San José State and Eastern Washington faced Washington, so opponent quality is not comparable.
