ANDREW’S FREE PICK
I might take a stab on Wyoming here. Probably staying away from it, though. The Cowboys are sitting on a three-game losing streak right now, but they’ve been scoring pretty well lately with 69 or more points in three of their last four outings. As for Nevada, they’re looking good in the win column these days. The Wolf Pack haven’t been all that impressive on the road though, with a one-point win over New Mexico, a loss to Utah State and a four-point victory versus Fresno State in their last three outings away from Lawlor Events Center. Nevada should still win this game, but if Wyoming plays well at home I think they’ll be able to cover.
