Boise State vs Wyoming Preview

This Mountain West Conference (MWC) game sees Wyoming (2-8, 2-4 in MWC) welcoming No. 12 Boise State (9-1, 6-0 in MWC) to the Cowboy State as the Broncos look to keep on winning and not jeopardize their College Football Playoffs (CFP) chances of making the first-ever NCAA Football FBS Playoff (Dec. 20-Jan. 20) and even possibly sneaking in a First Round Bye. As of Week 13, the CFP Bracket sees Boise State enjoying that possibility—along with No. 1 Oregon (Big Ten), No. 2 Texas (SEC), and No. 3 Miami Florida (ACC)—as the 4th-highest ranked conference champs. The decline of the fourth Power 4 conference this season, the Big 12, is a large reason why the Broncos are in this position and have their hopes so high. Boise State’s only loss this year came in a thriller vs. top-ranked Oregon in Eugene in Week 2 (37-34). The Broncos last Regular Season game in Week 14 will be against Oregon State at Home in the Gem State on Black Friday (November 29) morning (FOX, 12 ET/9 PT).

Boise State in Can’t Lose Spot Because of the CFP

Boise State (6-3-1 ATS, 7-3-0 O/U) has been a good team to back at the betting windows ATS this Fall and also a solid Over team. In the Broncos last game, it was a tale of two halves as host San Jose State and Boise State were tied at 14-14 at halftime before Ashton Jeanty and the Broncos outscored the spartans, 28-7 in the Second Half to win 42-21 and cover the 14-Point Spread. The game went Over the closing Total (62.5) with the Broncos last XP with just 1:42 left in the game, so the visitors last possession was good fortune for the Favorites and Over bettors in that contest. Boise State has now won 8 straight games since losing to Oregon way back in Week 2 when the weather was nice and we still had to use our air conditioners.

Boise State vs Wyoming Pick and Prediction

Boise State has a number of reasons to try to run rampant in this one. The first reason is the obvious positioning in the aforementioned CFP picture. Avoiding a First Round game in that tournament would be gold for the Broncos. The second reason is Jeanty (1,893 rushing yards, 26 TD, 7.4 ypc) is still technically in the Heisman Trophy race and should pass the 2,000 mark in Wyoming on Saturday night. We all know Colorado’s Travis Hunter (-260 to win Heisman Trophy, DraftKings) will win the coveted award, but that won’t stop Boise State from handing off the ball to their star Jeanty (+380 to win Heisman Trophy). After getting scared by SJS, expect the Broncos to be on their best behavior here and run out to an early lead and never look back. This Boise State vs Wyoming prediction and free NCAAF pick will back the Road team and lay the points.
