Wyoming vs Air Force Prediction

I considered Wyoming and the points, as it’s coming off back-to-back strong performances; I just couldn’t get there. Wyoming is still awful offensively this season and is 100th in run defense. Going up against Air Force with the inability to stop the run sounds awful for the home team. Air Force is running wild these days and has covered 5 of its last 7 games. Air Force should have its way offensively in this spot and makes the reasonable number a worthwhile play. Give me the Falcons on Friday night.
