The current betting odds have Colorado State listed as a 7 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Colorado State is only 3-5 this season and they haven't looked that great in conference play either as they are 1-3 in conference games. Wyoming has looked a lot better with their 5-3 record overall and they are also 2-2 in their conference games. They have looked unstoppable in their home games too with their 5-0 home record but as good as they have been in these home games, a lot of them have also been really close games by 1 score that they were fortunate to win. Wyoming does have a solid team that is a lot better at home but they don't really blow teams out either and this is just too many points for them even being at home. Colorado State has been losing a lot of games but they have also been putting up good fights in their losses and they are going to fight to keep this conference game close too. The best way to place a bet here is on Colorado State to cover the spread in this game.

“Air Force did what it needed to do in the second half to win the game. I thought our defense fought really hard. We gave up a couple of drives in the second half and we couldn't respond offensively.” - Jay Norvell after his team’s loss against AFA in their last game. 

"We just got our butts kicked. The real challenge is discerning and separating out, OK, was it a complete meltdown, or what good things are there, and what things can we glean from it? What personnel do we need to look at changing? What schematics do we need to look at changing?” - Craig Bohl after his team’s loss against BSU in their last game.
