Colorado State in Larmie Wyoming 7 PM Saturday Novemember 4th.
The Pick: Colorado State -2.5
Weather: 53 degrees/ Winds up to 30 MPH
Right now I think there's value in taking CSU:
I love betting the MW, and have been following both programs closely for the past decade. This is considered a rivalry game, I feel that Colorado State is the better team with the best player (Gallup), and the better QB.
The defensive edge surely goes to Wyoming, a unit lead by preseason MWC DPOY favorite S Andrew Wingard. Wingard, had two int's in Wyoming's 7 turnover's in their rout of New Mexico last week. The Wyoming defense is the MWC #1 pass defense 160 yards allowed per game, Tackles for loss (58) and sacks (21)
A key to the game will be the turnover margin, an area which Wyoming has to win to keep this game close. Wyoming has shown an ability to create turnovers, including 3 vs Oregon, 5 vs Utah St, and 7 vs New Mexico. In Colorado State's 3 losses, they lost the Turnover margin 8:3. Last week CSU turned the ball over 3 times to a mediocre Air Force defense.
Wyoming also has a very good home field advantage, playing in Laramie, Wyoming at the highest elevation in College football. The elevation seems to have an even greater impact on the opposing teams when it's cold, and it will be a chilly night. Wyoming has won 11 of their last 13 home games.
