Chris’ Pick
I’m backing the Cowboys here. I mean weird things happen in Laramie for visiting teams to begin with, but now you factor in an early kickoff in Wyoming, a game that would be 9 AM local time for Hawaii, and I think it’s just a bad spot for the Warriors to be in. Hawaii just isn’t a good team defensively and I look for Wyoming to put a hurting on Hawaii here. Give me the Cowboys laying the points.
