Wyoming vs Fresno State Prediction


In this Wyoming vs Fresno State Prediction, Wyoming is coming as -2.5 road favorites. Wyoming has been the better team this season but they have been terrible on the road, while Fresno State has been above average at home. Fresno is 2-7 in its last 9 games but very strong against the spread with a 4-1 ATS record in its last 5. On the flip side, Wyoming has been struggling, as they are 1-3 in their last 4 games and 1-5 against the spread, so I like the value with the home dog in this spot. Take Fresno State and get the +2.5 points at home in this one.

Nikos Lagouretos's Pick: Fresno State +2.5
