Bet on Wyoming vs. Boise State
Wyoming has been a team that people expected big offense from all year, but it just hasn’t appeared. Josh Allen has been very disappointing, but has been showing some signs of life lately. The Cowboys put up 45 points a few weeks ago and 28 last week. They also are 9-3 with the over in their last 12 conference games and 5-1 with the over in their last six road games. Boise State has hit the over in 16 of its last 23 against winning teams. I think these two manage more scoring than you might think and clear the over with some ease.
