Shane’s Free Pick

Wyoming is going to keep this game close. This Boise State defense isn’t good givign up 30.9 points per game and they are going to really struggle again in this game. Wyoming is going to get a strong game from Peasley and that is going to be the difference here as the Cowboys are going to going to keep this game close. It wouldn’t shock me if Wyoming is able to win this game outright. Back Wyoming against the spread.
