New Mexico vs Wyoming Prediction
The Wyoming Cowboys have covered 12 of their last 17 games when underdogs of 7 or more points, so I did consider the free touchdown. The problem is Wyoming is awful on both sides of the ball, and it gets even tougher on the road. New Mexico doesn’t play a lick of defense, but the offense makes up for things and provides a big edge over a bad all-around team in the Cowboys. New Mexico is 3-0 ATS and SU this season as a favorite, and has won those games by an average of 10 points. I’ll roll with the Lobos.
