We are -13.5 next Saturday. Total is 41.

With our offense, that's about as big a favorite as we will ever be.

The following week's opponent, Fresno St., is a 25 point home favorite over Nevada.

Hopefully, we double, or dare I say it, we triple our passing yardage from App. state. Oh, dream the impossible dream!

We have a winning record and we're playing a fairly bad Lobos team. Given how we've dealt with that situation in recent years, I'm guessing we're losing 24-7.

Pokes win but taking Lobos and the points.

I’d take the lobos and the over. 27-17 pokes.

I like Wyoming in this game. I think we cover the spread and some. The offense will be motivated to make up for last week. I see the score ending up something like 30-13.

It'll be a close game 20-14 type game

I remember a couple of years ago Wyoming was supposed to contend for the conference and lost to a horrible New Mexico team in Laramie 14- 3.Can't afford that kind of performance again.

New Mexico always plays us really well.

Getting a win here would be huge going into a home game with ranked Fresno State.

At some point this week ill dig up and update my post from a season or two ago on Bohl teams as double digit favorites. It is not pretty.

It would be interesting to know how many times we have been double digit favorites in conference under Bohl. It's pretty damn rare. Losing this week is not an option. The next 3 weeks are brutal. The offense better grind out some drives and give the defense a break. If we can't, then this team isn't nearly as good as I thought it was before App. state.

Despite it being rare to even be favored by double digits, I know that we have actually lost outright as double digit conference favorites under Bohl more than once. SJSU in 2017 and one of sh*t show performances against UNM at home mentioned before.

Considering how we beat the mighty Portland State Hen-Penguins by 14, do we really believe we will beat UNM by 14?

I think Bohl is trying to kill us fans off, it makes all of us that question his decisions go away more "naturally".
