San Jose State Spartans vs. Wyoming Cowboys Prediction
I’m on San Jose State here. I get the case to be made for a home underdog in spots, and Laramie has been a tricky spot for teams to go on the road to in the past as weird things have happened in the past in Wyoming. That being said, the Cowboys haven’t had that same lustre at home and San Jose State could easily be 4-1 if not 5-0 this season if a couple more bounces had gone their way. I think the Spartans get the win here so give me San Jose State.
