Fresno State vs. Wyoming Prediction
I’m on Wyoming here. Strange things happen in Laramie, and better teams have gone into Wyoming and have fallen short. The Cowboys are just the better team with more scoring depth here and I don’t trust Fresno State really at the best of times. It’s not going to be pretty, but Wyoming should walk out with the win and cover here.
