Nevada -3½ -103 over WYOMING

8:00 PM EST. Wyoming is a very misleading 8-5 overall after playing the 319th ranked Strength of Schedule in the country. The Cowboys have victories over some of the ugliest programs in the land and they have some ugly losses too. Wyoming lost to Texas Southern in its non-con schedule. They needed OT to beat Incarnate Wood. They beat Utah Valley by five and lost to Fresno once by 20 points. When they played Boise twice recently they lost by 23 and 20 points respectively. It is of our always humble opinion that the Cowboys are getting way too much credit here.

Utah State and Boise state are hogging the early ink in Mountain West coverage – and rightfully so, as they sit a combined 18-0 in the league and an absurd 15-2-1 against the spread. The result is that the market is snoozing on the Wolfpack. Steve Alford and his revamped up-sized lineup — a far cry from the guard and wing-laden lineups he built his reputation on — are proving to be a thorn in the side of MWC foes. The Pack’s big man quartet of Zane Meeks, KJ Hymes, Warren Washington, and Robby Robinson underpin a sturdy frontline fortress. They deserve credit for the Pack’s top-50 2-point field goal percentage defense and defensive rebounding rate. Along with two dynamic shot makers in Grant Sherfield and Desmond Cambridge, Alford’s established reliable inside-out scoring balance. Sitting beneath the shadows of their Mountain West overlords, the Pack continue to fly under-the-radar in the betting markets and that’s especially true here. A definite underlay.
