Wyoming vs Boise State Prediction

I’m with Wyoming here. I know it’s tough to turn down Boise State as the Broncos are an experienced team that’s been there and done that and made the trip to Wyoming many times before. However, strange things have and will continue to happen in Laramie, as the altitude plays a big role and the Cowboys always seem to step up their play when teams come into their building. The Cowboys just stifled a really solid Nevada team that just came into their building and held them to 63 points and I think Wyoming could do the same here. I’m not sure that Wyoming pulls off the outright upset here, but I do think the Cowboys make this one competitive and that it could come down to who takes the final shot. Give me Wyoming and the points in this one.
