Wyoming at Utah State picks and predictions
Prediction
Utah State 85, Wyoming 67
Moneyline
Utah State (-1800) will cost you 18 times your potential return, and that's way too much risk and not enough reward. There is never any reason to bet such a heavy favorite, either as a standalone wager or as part of a multi-team parlay.
AVOID.
Against the spread
UTAH STATE -15.5 (-108) is worth a look at home against the offensively-challenged Wyoming +15.5 (-112) side.
The Cowboys have scored 67 or fewer points in 3 of the past 4 games, and they have allowed 77 or more points in 3 of those outings. That's been a great recipe for plenty of non-covers.
The Aggies are the complete opposite, going for 77 or more points in 3 in a row, and 9 of the past 10 games overall. The Cowboys just don't have the offense to keep up.

Over/Under
OVER 148.5 (-108) is worth a look in this Mountain West Conference battle.
The Over is on a 6-1-1 run for Utah State, and the offense is very efficient, too. The Aggies hit 50.1% from the field, which ranks 13th in the nation. Oddly enough, Utah State struggles from the charity stripe, however, hitting just 69.5% from the free-throw line, leaving a lot of points on the floor.
Wyoming has cashed the Over at a 5-2 clip in the past 7 games, thanks mostly due to its struggles on defense. The Cowboys allow 73.3 PPG, while teams are hitting 44.2% from the field. And while they have difficulty on offense, too, going for just 73.9 PPG, Wyoming hits from behind the 3-point line at a 38.8% clip which is good for the Over.
