Why Wyoming can cover

The Cowboys have a talented and instinctive defensive unit. Rolling into Friday's showdown, Wyoming is fourth in the conference in total defense (388.3) and third in pass defense (209.4). Junior linebacker Easton Gibbs has great recovery speed and awareness in the open field to make stops consistently. Gibbs is fourth in the Mountain West in total tackles (74) with 9.2 tackles per game.

The California native has recorded double-digit tackles in four outings in 2023. In the loss to Boise State, Gibbs logged 11 total tackles. Junior linebacker Shae Suiaunoa is another effective defender on the second level. Suiaunoa owns solid play recognition skills and wraps up well. The Texas native is seventh in the Mountain West in total tackles (64). See which team to pick here.

Why Colorado State can cover

The Rams have a versatile group of pass-catchers. Horton, if he's able to go, is the No. 1 option in the aerial attack. The California native ranks first in the conference in receptions (70), receiving yards (790), and receiving yards per game (98.7). He's logged double-digit catches in four games thus far. On Oct. 14 versus Boise State, Horton totaled 10 receptions for 130 yards. If he's out or limited, look for receivers Justus Ross-Simmons and Louis Brown IV to get more targers. 

Junior tight end Dallin Holker is a reliable weapon in both the run and pass game. The Utah native is seventh in the Mountain West in receiving yards (620) with 48 receptions and six touchdowns. In Week 8 versus UNLV, he snagged four receptions for 80 yards. See which team to pick here.
