Brigham Young Cougars vs. Wyoming Cowboys Prediction
Playing chalk is never a favorite cup of tea especially when you are spotting a fair amount of points. However, to see the public smother the Cowboys on the Money Line suggests that the underdog here may actually be overemphasized. Typically, when the public likes a pooch that signals that there is often too many points being spotted to the public by their perception which means that the favorite may actually be in a short-sell. The Cougars have made an example out of every team they have come across since starting off 1-3. Let us also remind everyone that those three losses to start off the regular season were fostered in the most gut-wrenching and uncanny manners imaginable. BYU could have easily been playing a New Year’s Six Bowl game had they caught a few breaks along the way and they will look to finish with a bold point against a struggling Wyoming Cowboys team that have hit their peak this season.
Free Pick:
Take BYU at -9
