Analysis

This is a 10* MW GOM on Wyoming. I'm not calling for an outright victory or anything, but everything points to a much tighter battle than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe in my opinion. UNLV is 11-7 after back-to-back wins, most recently a 76-68 victory at SDSU as a 10.5-point dog. Note though that the Rebels are just 3-7 ATS in their last ten off a SU/ATS conference road win as an underdog. With 16-4 New Mexico coming to town next, not only does this set up as a natural "letdown" spot for the home side, but also a "look-ahead." And when you add those two situational factors together, you get "TRAP GAME." Wyoming is now 9-9 after three straight SU/ATS losses in a row, most recently the 79-63 setback to Colorado State. Note though that the Cowboys are 7-3 ATS in their last ten after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row. I'm grabbing the points, the play is WYOMING. Good luck, NP
