Colorado vs Wyoming Prediction
Colorado is the more talented team and has been competitive in its two losses, but it still has questions at quarterback and still isn’t great defensively. Colorado is 116th in total defense and 124th in rushing defense. It also doesn’t seem like if the Buffaloes know if they want to roll with Salter or Staub. Colorado is also 3-10-1 ATS in its last 14 games as a double-digit favorite. Wyoming has lots of questions, especially on offense, but that doesn’t mean we just make Colorado a huge favorite. I’ll grab the points with the Cowboys on the road.
