Joe Glenn has a solid team at Wyoming this season with a balanced offensive attack and stout defense. Take the Cowboys and the points this Saturday at Boise State.
I had hoped to see +14 here but will not pass up an opportunity on Wyoming as a double digit dog. The Cowboys have done everything right so far this season. They have a balanced offense and solid defense. They flat-out dominated Virginia in their season opener, even more so than the final score indicates, and last week notched a 14-point win over Utah State.
Wyoming gets both BYU and TCU at home this year which means this is the last game on their schedule that they will either not be favored or a mild underdog to win. It could be a dream season for them. Wyoming actually had more total yardage than Boise in last year's meeting but a 61-yard interception return for a touchdown was the deciding factor in a 17-10 final. In the game Wyoming held Boise to a season low 246 total yards and 3.2 ypc. The two teams met last year before Wyoming QB Karsten Sween took over the starting job and they are 7-2 with him as a starter going back to last year.
While Wyoming has improved, Boise has clearly digressed. The Broncos lost their QB and top four receivers from last year, as well as a slew of players on defense. They failed to make enough plays last week against a very suspect Washington secondary leading to their first loss in fifteen games. With their win streak snapped and dreams of another BCS bid all but over, Boise could be in a letdown situation this week. Either way they are in for a competitive battle from the Cowboys. Take the points.
Free Pick: Wyoming +13½, (-110, ½-Unit)
