Wyoming vs Nevada Prediction Breakdown
Wyoming comes into this game with seven wins, but they have played poorly over their last five games, especially on the road. Nevada has lost three games in a row and they are trying to avoid getting their 10th loss of the season. The Wolf Pack have allowed 71 points in their last two games, so Wyoming should have a solid day on offense. The Cowboys are the much better team in this matchup, especially on defense, and I like them to finish the season on a positive note with a big win. Take Wyoming here.
