The favorite has dominated the number as of recent when the Wyoming Cowboys and New Mexico Lobos meet as they have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 meetings. The Wyoming Cowboys clashed with their kryptonite in the San Diego State Aztecs last week, but the New Mexico Lobos are the complete opposite as they have struggled a ton on the defensive side of the ball as they rank 125th in points allowed. Wyoming will look to do the majority of their damage on the ground, but this is the type of game where the Cowboys can give their run-first QB in Sean Chambers some confidence through the air. The Cowboys pulled off an impressive upset at home against Missouri to open the season, and they should have no problem laying it on the Lobos. Final Score Prediction, Wyoming Cowboys win and cover ATS 38-9.
