Boise State vs Wyoming Prediction
Boise State was able to erase an early 14-0 deficit last week against San Jose State and even though it was ugly, they still won by 21 points. The Broncos are trying to stay undefeated and remain in the driver’s seat for the CFP berth, but they have had some struggles in their last two games. Wyoming only has two wins on the season and their offense has been very bad for most of the year. The Cowboys are typically a tough team to play at home, but they don’t have the offense to give Boise trouble. Take the Broncos here.
