Wyoming vs Fresno State Prediction
This Mountain West battle should be contested, as Wyoming comes in with the stronger squad, but it will mark Senior Night for Fresno State. The Bulldogs have dropped five straight games, and it’ll be interesting to see how their veteran group comes out against a fellow experienced Cowboys team. Both teams trend well with the Under, so that may be a route to go, I like rolling the dice with Fresno State here though for their home finale. L
