Louisiana Tech is 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games against a team with a losing record and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 road games. Wyoming is 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 home games and 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a win while the under is 7-1 in their last 8 home games.
I get the case to be made on either side here, but I’m sticking to the under here. These are two teams I’ve really had a hard time getting a feel for as both are usually defense first teams but the points have been coming in bunches on both sides as of late. This just feels like a first to 70 wins kind of game if we even make it there. Give me the under.
