Wyoming Cowboys vs. Air Force Falcons Prediction
I’m on Air Force in this one. I just think that Air Force is favored at home in this one for a reason as I don’t think that Wyoming can match score for score with this Air Force offense that’s been one of the most electric in the country. I think Wyoming was slightly lucky to get out with a win as they did against San Jose State and I think that Air Force gets it done at home in this one. Give me the Falcons.
