Chris’ Pick

I’ve gone back and forth on this game, and for now, I’m leaning towards Colorado State and the points. Wyoming is a solid team, and the Rams’ defense is terrible. Wyoming’s also a team that wins at home and loses on the road, but the thing here is that Wyoming’s wins at home, even against inferior competition, haven’t been big blowout wins. This is a Wyoming team that beat New Mexico by 9 as a 14.5-point favorite and Portland State by 14 as 28-point favorites, as well as App State by 3, Texas Tech by 2 and Fresno State by 5. Colorado State’s pass attack has been really good and Wyoming’s pass defense is good, but not great. I’m not saying Wyoming loses this game, I just think that Colorado State could make a game of it and keep it within 4-7, so getting the touchdown plus the hook right now, I’ll lean towards the Rams.
