The Wyoming Cowboys (6-3, 4-1 MWC) and Colorado State Rams (2-7, 2-3) meet Saturday. Kickoff at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (CBSSN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Wyoming vs. Colorado State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Wyoming heads to CSU off a bye week. The Cowboys won their 3rd straight game 27-20 at Hawaii Oct. 29, although they failed to cover as 12.5-point favorites. Wyoming piled up 365 yards on the ground in the victory, and it ran for 330 yards the previous week. The Cowboys rank 2nd in the MWC in both rushing yards per game (194.0) and yards per carry (5.0).

The Rams played San Jose State tough on the road last Saturday, losing 28-16 as 23.5-point underdogs. A troubled Colorado State offense cranked out a season-high 468 total yards in that game. For the season, CSU ranks 11th in the conference in total offense (278.7 YPG) and 12th in scoring (12.9 points per game).

Wyoming at Colorado State picks and predictions

Prediction

Wyoming 27, Colorado State 17

Moneyline

No leverage is to be gained here. PASS.

Against the spread

Wyoming wants to run the ball a lot. The Cowboys are good at staying on schedule through early downs, and this CSU defense likely won’t stand much in the way. In red-zone defense, the Rams have been awful. Overall, they’ve allowed 31.7 PPG (110th FBS).

The Cowboys — 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games of this series — will look to bounce back strong after a shaky game in Honolulu and a bye week.

TAKE WYOMING -8.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over is 3-1 in the last 4 head-to-head meetings. It is also 5-1 across the Cowboys’ last 6 games following an ATS loss and it’s 6-0-1 in the Rams’ last 7 games in November.

The Wyoming offense is decent but gettable for a couple of scores in a game where the Rams figure to be chasing. CSU’s defense in the red zone and some short-field expectations make for value on the Over.

BACK THE OVER 42.5 (-112).

Wyoming at Colorado State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Wyoming Cowboys at Colorado State Rams odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets in a Mountain West battle.

The Wyoming Cowboys (22-4, 11-2 Mountain West) visit the Colorado State Rams (21-4, 11-4) Wednesday at Moby Arena in Fort Collins, Colo. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (CBSSN). Below, we look at the Wyoming vs. Colorado State odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Cowboys are coming off a 75-67 win against Air Force, although they’ve failed to cover their last two games. Wyoming lost 75-66 at New Mexico Feb. 15 in its most recent road outing.

The Rams are likely champing at the bit to get back on the court after getting routed 72-51 at UNLV Saturday in their last action. It was the team’s first loss since falling 84-78 in overtime Jan. 31 at Wyoming.

Wyoming at Colorado State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado State 74, Wyoming 70

Money line

Colorado State (-280) is too expensive on the money line, costing you over two and a half times your potential return.

PASS.

Against the spread

WYOMING +6.5 (-115) is worth a small-unit play. The Cowboys are catching over three baskets in a game which should be super competitive and close. These teams are nearly a mirror of each other, and the last time they faced each other the game was decided in overtime.

Colorado State might have given bettors a lot more confidence until getting pounded last time out in Las Vegas against the Runnin’ Rebels. It should be much better at home, but the safe play is taking the Cowboys to lasso the cash.

Over/Under

The UNDER 144.5 (-110) is the lean, ever so slightly. The Under has cashed in each of the past seven on the road for Wyoming while going 13-5 in the last 18 games overall for Colorado State.

The last time these teams played, we saw the Over cash, but that was also decided in overtime. We should see a lower score in this one.

Wyoming at Colorado State: Three things to know

  1. Wyoming rebounded after a narrow 37-34 overtime loss at Nevada in its opener to push past a solid Hawaii team at home 31-7 as a 2.5-point underdog. The Cowboys outgained the Warriors 393 to 233 last week, and they doubled them up 24-12 in first downs.
  2. Wyoming dominated last week’s game in time of possession by a 38:15 to 21:45 margin, riding the coattails of RB Xazavian Valladay for 163 rushing yards and two touchdowns. He is a big star, and picked up the slack with backup QB Levi Williams under center.
  3. Colorado State was rubbed out at Fresno State last week, getting torched 38-17 in a game it was never in. The Rams did a good job against the run, something they’ll need to do against the Cowboys, allowing just 84 yards to Fresno. However, the Bulldogs dinged them for 348 yards through the air. Dual-threat QB Todd Centeio completed just 10 of 23 passes for 141 yards and he ran for 80 yards.

Wyoming at Colorado State: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks

Prediction

Wyoming 31, Colorado State 20

Money line (ML)

WYOMING (-167) is down to Williams under center after QB Sean Chambers had season-ending surgery. So, the Cowboys will rely on the back of Valladay and the run game. Colorado State (+140) did a good job against Fresno State last week on the ground, but that’s mostly because the Bulldogs were doing whatever they wanted through the air. Head coach Steve Addazio has a lot of work to do to whip these Rams into shape, and they’ll be no match for the Cowboys in this one.

Against the spread (ATS)

WYOMING (-3.5, -110) likely would be around a touchdown favorite on the road if Chambers were under center, but he’s not. It won’t make much difference, though, as Wyoming has the best player on either side, and Valladay will make his presence felt like he did against Hawaii last week. The Cowboys are 14-6 ATS in their past 20 games as favorites, and 5-1 ATS in the past six as road favorites, so the6 have the Rams right where they want them. The Cowboys are also 4-1 ATS in the past five trips to Fort Collins, and 4-0 ATS in the previous four meetings.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 52.5 (-110) is a strong play for a number of reasons. First off, Wyoming’s offense threw a blanket on a high-octane Hawaii offense last week, allowing just seven points. HC Craig Bohl’s defense was on fire in its first victory. Secondly, Centeio is very shaky under center and inaccurate. Plus, Wyoming likes to keep it on the ground and chew clock with Valladay, which is also in Under bettors’ favor.
