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.

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.
