Why Colorado State can cover

The Rams are one of two teams in the FBS who are undefeated against the spread in conference play. CSU is 4-0 ATS and straight up against Mountain West opponents, and has covered in six consecutive games overall. The Rams also have much more to play for in this game, with a spot in the Mountain West Championship Game still a very real possibility. 

One of the main driving forces behind CSU's current winning streak has been the emergence of the team's dominant rushing attack. Behind the duo of Avery Morrow and Justin Marshall, the Rams have rushed for 188.3 yards per game during the streak. Morrow enters Friday with 788 yards and eight touchdowns, while Marshall has 477 yards and three scores. See which team to pick here.

Why Wyoming can cover

Wyoming has taken a step back in the first season of the post-Craig Bohl era. Under Bohl, the Cowboys had qualified for a bowl game in each of the last three seasons, and six of the last seven seasons if you throw out the Covid-shortened 2020 year. Fortunately for Wyoming, this is the type of rivalry where you can typically throw out each team's record leading up to the game. 

The Cowboys are coming off their best offensive performance of the year in their 49-45 win over New Mexico. The team has also performed well against the spread of late, covering in three straight and four of their last five games. Wyoming has dominated this series in recent years, winning seven of the last eight meetings. CSU also lost star receiver Tory Horton (knee) for the season last month, making the Rams a bit more one-dimensional. See which team to pick here.
