Wyoming at Texas picks and predictions
Prediction
Texas 45, Wyoming 17
Moneyline
PASS.
There’s nothing to see here. While it is tempting, do not include Texas in your moneyline parlays.
Against the spread
LEAN WYOMING +29.5 (-105).
The Longhorns are coming off a captivating win at Alabama, but as a favorite this season, they are 0-1 ATS. This is a large spread against a Wyoming team that has a win over a Big 12 side, one that lost to top-15 Oregon by 8 in Week 2. Wyoming is 1-0 ATS as an underdog as well.
Wyoming QB Peasley has a terrific 6:1 TD-to-INT ratio. He should be able to keep this game somewhat close.
Take WYOMING +29.5 (-105) to cover this massive spread.
Over/Under
BET OVER 48.5 (-110).
Wyoming has a good mix of offensive potency and turnover-forcing defense that should help it aid the total. It has 3 fumbles through 2 games (4 total turnovers) and Wyoming has tallied at least 31 points in each of its 1st 2 games. Both teams are 1-1 O/U this season with Texas having scored at least 34 points in each of its 1st 2 games as well.
The quarterbacks have combined for 1 INT in 2 weeks and should play turnover-free football which will help possessions to continue and points on the board. Back OVER 48.5 (-110).
