Utah Utes vs. Wyoming Cowboys Pick
Spread Pick for Utah Utes vs. Wyoming Cowboys
- Wyoming Cowboys +23.5 (4 units)
This is a lot of points to lay for this game, especially with a defense that is clicking on all cylinders like Wyoming has through its first two games. These teams have looked different, but this is easily the best defense that Utah has faced this season thus far. Kaden Anderson has looked sharp under center and just a few stops by the Wyoming defense makes things tough to reach the spread. Go with the Wyoming Cowboys getting more than three full touchdowns at home to cove the spread when facing a tough opponent.
Over/Under Pick for Utah Utes vs. Wyoming Cowboys
- Under 48.5 (4 units)
These offenses are looking sharp to begin the season, but this Wyoming Cowboys team has allowed just seven total points while the Utah Utes have given up 19 points through their first two games. Both teams are within the top 35 in yards per play allowed as the Utes are 31st with 4.1 yards per play allowed while the Cowboys are sitting in fifth place nationally only giving up 3.5 yards per play thus far. With two of the best defenses in the country, take under 48.5 total points to score here.
