Give credit for the Utah State Aggies playing better these last couple weeks, but they’re still well below average on both sides of the ball. I’m just not there with Utah State to be laying chalk, especially on the road. The Wyoming Cowboys have things they need to work on as well, but they’ve shown more consistency this season and have a reputation lately of winning the games they’re supposed to win. The favorite has also covered 7 of the last 9 meetings between these clubs. I’ll lay the small chalk.
