Wyoming moved to 14-16 after defeating Air Force in Laramie, 74-63. The Cowboys out scored the Falcons in both periods, and they’ll attempt to win consecutive games for the first time since January here in Fresno.

The Bulldogs were no match for the Lobos, and they’ll look to avenge a one-point defeat to the Cowboys this weekend at home. Fresno St. is currently 9th in the Mountain West with a 4-11 record in conference play, while going 5-5 over their last ten games, and they’re 6-5 on the road this season.

- WYO is 11-16-1 against the spread, with a 13-16 O/U record.

Wyoming vs Fresno State Prediction
This Mountain West battle should be contested, as Wyoming comes in with the stronger squad, but it will mark Senior Night for Fresno State. The Bulldogs have dropped five straight games, and it’ll be interesting to see how their veteran group comes out against a fellow experienced Cowboys team. Both teams trend well with the Under, so that may be a route to go, I like rolling the dice with Fresno State here though for their home finale. L
