Wyoming vs Hawai’i Prediction
This isn’t a good Hawaii team, and I usually like to fade this squad when playing on the mainland. However, Wyoming is nonexistent offensively, can’t stop the run defensively, and has been dominated in games it should’ve competed. Wyoming got smoked by Colorado State in its season opener and lost by two touchdowns as a small favorite to Central Michigan. We’re picking the lesser of two evils here. Don’t love Hawaii in these spots, but this is a fade of Wyoming more than anything.
