Wyoming Cowboys vs. UNLV Rebels Prediction

I’m on Wyoming here. I’d much prefer this game being in Wyoming, but I think this is a great spot for the Cowboys, who are every bit as live for the Mountain West championship as UNLV in this matchup. Wyoming continues to defy the odds and have a solid defense that travels. I think UNLV could win this game, but this feels like a tight matchup. Give me Wyoming and the points here.
