Wyoming vs Utah State Prediction
I’m on Utah State here. I don’t trust either team here, but it is a pick ‘em, and while Utah State’s defense has been hot garbage, the Aggies have at least been able to score points and I don’t know if Wyoming’s lackluster offense can even take advantage of Utah State’s shortcomings. I think the Aggies get a feel-good road win here, so give me the Aggies.
