Fresno State vs Wyoming Prediction
Wyoming disrespected Fresno State in their season finale matchup, and while this one should absolutely play out differently, we may see the same final result here. Wyoming only beat Fresno by one point back in January, but after nearly 40-piecing them on Saturday, they’re trustworthy in this mid-day spot. Let’s back Wyoming to advance this Wednesday.
