Boise State vs Wyoming Prediction
The current betting odds have Boise State listed as a 22.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Boise State has looked really good in their games this season with their 9-1 record overall and their 6-0 conference record which has them leading the Mountain West. They don't play in the strongest conference, but they have had a really impressive season with a running back who is also up for the Heisman Trophy with the stats he is putting up. Their 1 loss this season was also a quality loss as they lost to Oregon who is ranked 1st in the nation, and they lost that game on the road by 3 points. Meanwhile, Wyoming has looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-8 record overall and their 2-4 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the MWC. They haven't looked any better in their home games with their 1-4 home record and they are coming off another loss to Colorado State by 14 in their last one. Wyoming has been decent on defense, but they can only do so much in their games, and this Wyoming offense has been nowhere to be found in a lot of their games. They put up 10 points in their last one and have struggled to score all season which is going to be a big issue against this Boise State offense that can put up a ton of points and run away with this game. The best way to place a bet here is on Boise State to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“I don’t think we’ve been down 14-0 all year, and our guys never flinched. It wasn’t like, ‘Oh, what is this?' Execution. Be the hunter. Always the hunter. Our guys are doing this. There's no speech I’m giving. Our guys are leading it, because this is a player-led team, and I’m proud of them.” - Spencer Danielson after his team’s win against SJSU in their last game.
"(Bohl) relayed different things to me about the fact that he had two 10-win seasons back-to-back at North Dakota State and everybody just felt like this is what's supposed to happen. Then they had a 3-8 season and there was like a recenter that had to happen after that. Then they won three straight national championships." - Jay Sawvel on his phone call with Craig Bohl after his team’s loss against CSU in their last game.
