Wyoming is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record and 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games against a team with a winning home record while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 Monday games. Nevada is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games following a win.
I get why Nevada would be favored at home but they’ve had real issues with covering numbers as of late and the underdog’s covered in each of the last five numbers which is a perfect storm for Wyoming. The Cowboys I thought may have issues coming back from a long layoff, but that wasn’t the case. Wyoming looked good in that one and I think they can do something similar here.
