2. Wyoming at San Jose State
LINE 41 Point Total
ATS PICK Under
I know, I KNOW, this is dumb.
I’m right – you should ALWAYS go against the extreme no matter what, and going under on a point total of 41 is absolutely ridiculous.
San Jose State scored 37 by itself against New Mexico State and hung 45 on Southern Utah. Wyoming put up 50 on Northern Illinois and 45 on Ball State.
San Jose State just played a weird game against UNLV that finished 27-20 – obviously over 41 for a total – and even an offensively-challenged game like Wyoming’s 24-22 over UConn rips past the number.
OF COURSE you should go with the over because it’s the right thing to do.
I can’t. I’m broken by these two teams.
I watched the Fresno State 17-0 win over Wyoming. I sat through the San Diego State 19-13 win over San Jose State. I sort of endured a chunk of the 14-3 New Mexico win over Wyoming and the 23-3 Western Michigan win over San Jose State.
As hard as it might be to go under on a point total of 41, San Jose State games have done it in four of the last seven, and Wyoming has flown eight miles below the number in each of it’s last three games, scoring a grand total of 17 points.
San Jose State has had nine days off since the UNLV game, and that’s about to help the defense in this.
San Jose State hasn’t scored more than 17 points in five of its last seven games, and Wyoming has a good enough defense to keep this in check even though its O won’t work.
I don’t feel good about any of that, so I’m jumping right back into my warm comfy blanket of always going the other way on an extreme point total, and we have a whopper …
