Wyoming at Texas picks and predictions
Prediction
Texas 79, Wyoming 67
Moneyline
PASS. The moneyline is not worth pursuing.
Against the spread
WYOMING +15.5 (-120) has picked up wins and covers in the past 2 games, both as an underdog, but facing Texas -15.5 (-102) in its place is a big step up in competition.
Still, the Cowboys are worth the play catching more than 8 buckets, as Texas has failed to cover the past 4 games overall, including 3 times as a double-digit favorite. Against Rice and Delaware State, Texas won comfortably by an average of 21.5 PPG, but it failed to cover big spreads. The same will be true on Sunday at Moody Center, as Texas will win, but Wyoming will keep it within a dozen or so.

The total has gone Over for the Longhorns in the past 2 games, averaging 76.0 PPG on offense in 2 games against Louisville and UConn, while allowing 80.5 PPG.
Wyoming has been decent at the offensive end, and it ranks 18th in the country, according to covers.com, hitting 40.2% from behind the 3-point line. Defensively, the Cowboys are above average, but the 'Horns are a giant step up in competition.
