Wyoming Cowboys at Utah State Aggies Overview
Wyoming Cowboys
The Boys come into this contest off the heels of an impressive showing when it took the No. 22 Boise State Broncos into extra time, last Saturday. Closing as a 16.5-point underdog, Wyoming pushed the Broncos to the limit in a 20-17 thriller that saw the Boys on the losing end of the overtime in Boise but nonetheless left takers with cash in hand and a raised eyebrow.
Utah State Aggies
The Aggies come into this affair off an upset of Fresno State in the Valley last Saturday. Closing as a five-point road underdog, the Aggies marched onto a 37-35 victory over the Bulldogs to snap a two-game losing streak on the year.
Reasons To Avoid Wyoming Cowboys
All the ingredients here set up Wyoming for a let-down in this match-up. The Cowboys have been profitable in this series, and the market has a more favorable perception of this outfit. In addition to their rumble with Boise State, Wyoming has also been the orchestrator of a season-opening upset of SEC constituent Missouri when Wyoming was priced as a 15-point underdog. We are just two weeks removed from Utah State’s blowout loss suffered at the hands of BYU when the Aggies were priced as a field-goal favorite at home against the Cougars. This poor showing is likely influencing the market to think twice about pulling the trigger on Utah State.
Reasons To Back Utah State Aggies
The Cowboys have struggled mightily on the road this season and have gone 1-3 SU away from Laramie. However, backers have taken advantage of Wyoming’s struggles away from their post and have gone 3-1 ATS in these contests. This spot seems like the perfect crossroads for that direction to change in terms of profits. After all, previous to the BYU debacle, Utah State was undefeated at home. They will be keen to re-establish their home field presence here against a Wyoming team that is one of the worst in the country in defending the pass (278.2 passing yards against per game – 125th in the FBS). The Aggies are ranked 29th in terms of passing yards per game (279.4 yards per game). That quick-strike dynamic that could manifest will be hard for Wyoming to overcome with one of the most pedestrian passing attacks in America as the Boys average a measly 128.8 yards through the air per game (126th in the FBS).
