Going too but only really because found a long lost UW buddy we lost contact with each other the past 25 years. So decided to come down to the Duke City, eat some green chile (of course) and catch up and watch 2 crappy teams battle it out....least the weather will be decent as well....roadies are fun no matter, imo

We are favored by 2 currently. So Vegas believes we are more likely to win. Having watched Utah State twice this year on TV, they are a bad team and equally disorganized as us. But they have a semi-excuse - - firing their coach for cause (contacting alleged sexual assault victims) right before the season.

No, "Vegas" doesn't believe we're more likely to win, they believe more people will bet against a home team if they spot the visitor 2 points. The sports books' aim is to get 50% of the total gambled on each side, pay off the winners, and take home their 5% vig...

Yes - to get 50% of the money on either side, Vegas initially determined that they needed to spot Utah State 2 points…ala Vegas believed that Wyoming would be the betting favorite. Vegas was wrong - bettors flooded Utah State with money and now the line is Utah State favored by 2.5. A 4.5 point move is significant.

Interestingly - ESPN’s matchup predictor models show Wyoming as winning this matchup 58% of the time. So if you believe in ESPN’s mathematical model, bet Wyoming on the money line!!!

5%? I've been getting hosed for 25 years. My various bookies get closer to 10 percent. Please provide link to online 5% percent bookies.

Kind of scared to watch tomorrow as I can already envision the two QB system implemented by our coaches... they will likely overthink the situation and have Anderson as the run QB and Sveboda as the passing QB, to "really trick up" the Aggies...

Really don't understand why he just doesn't start Anderson. Of course, if Anderson succeeds, it will actually show his ineptitude more and illuminate how his decision not to start him cost multiple wins. I think he's subconsciously sabotaging himself.
 
The debate is over. PBJ marrying himself to Svboda was a glaring mistake. Nothing wrong with running him out at the beginning of season but it was obvious to everyone that what we thought he had, he’d didn’t.
 
Svboda spotting more points. After his first run on this drive, I thought maybe I was wrong screaming at the TV but after the interception, it clear my gut was right. I never want to see Svboda play another down ever unless he’s a tight end
