In the San Jose State game, the Rams had a 10-7 lead going into the second half. Colorado State was outscored 21-6 from there in a 28-16 loss. QB Clay Millen put up 261 yards and an interception. Avery Morrow had 124 yards and a TD on 17 carries. 

The Cowboys are 5-0 ATS in their last five after an ATS loss and 4-1 ATS in their last five in November. The over is 5-1 in Wyoming’s last six in November.
Meanwhile, the Rams are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 conference games and 3-12 ATS in the last 15 overall. Colorado State is 1-6 ATS in their last seven at home. 

PICK: I’m leaning toward the Cowboys but probably not touching it. Wyoming wasn’t exactly dominant through the air in the Hawaii game, posting just 76 pass yards and a spotty 4-of-11 on third downs. The good news is that the Cowboys ran very well (365 yards) and overcame a couple of turnovers to get the win. It wasn’t pretty, but Wyoming should be rested and ready now. 

As for Colorado State, they out-gained San Jose State 468-355 and held the Spartans to just 3-of-12 on third downs. Unfortunately the Rams also had two picks and 13 penalties that were pretty costly. Colorado State should clean up their act some here but I don’t think they’ll cover.
