Wyoming vs Air Force Prediction 

Air Force comes into this matchup looking for their first win in conference play this year and they will be at home for this contest. The Falcons have really struggled over the first two months of this season and they have scored just 58 and 59 points in their last two games. Wyoming has won three of their last four games and they have been the better offensive team in this matchup, while also having the rebounding advantage. Air Force has struggled on both ends of the court recently and I just can’t trust them with how they have started the season. I expect Wyoming to have a big offensive day, while Air Force struggles to get into the 60’s. Take the Cowboys here.
