Wyoming vs Boise State Prediction
Wyoming is coming into this game as a 14 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Wyoming played well in their last game and finally stopped the bleeding of the losing streak they were on since starting the season 4-0. They will be looking to finish their season strong in these last few games. BSU is coming off of a big win against Fresno State and this could be a let down game for them after that big rivalry game that they won. BSU has not beaten many teams by that many points this season so the best bet to place in this game is on Wyoming to cover the spread here.
Wyoming Boise State Prediction: Our NCAAF Pick for Friday, November 12, 2021 (10:00 pm ET start time) is BSU 24 Wyoming 20.
