Wyoming @ AF (-11)

Air Force has won every MWC game this year by double digits (except loss to Boise st) and most of them have been blowouts. We are terrible on the road this year. So, I would say the line is about right.
 
AF has exceeded 40 points 4 times and 30 points 7 times. Wyo has only exceeded 24 points 3 times all year. -11 seems pretty accurate when only considering this year's results. Wyoming does tend to play well against AF and stops the option better than most teams, but scoring 21 points might be enough for AF to cover that spread

I'm taking the 11 points. No one has blown us out this year. Our D keeps it close.

Exactly....but Air Force? Wyoming has had a chance to win every game. I don't care how many points has scored....that is irrelevent. The Pokes have lost 4 games by 4 more points than this spread. Money is on Wyoming.

Go Pokes!!

How many games has Wyoming's D given up 40 or more points this season? How many games has UW's D given up 30 or more points?

Don't know off hand?

40? = 0 times. None. Not Missouri, not Boise, not Utah State.
30? = 1 time. Missouri scored 31 points.

I am not calling for a Wyoming rout or even win, but to think we're going to get blown out by the Zoomies seems problematic. This Defense has been very good this year. Bohl an Co. have always schemed well for the Falcons. I tend to believe that Dickert will continue that. I expect, like every single game this season, the Cowboys will have their chance late in the game to win or lose.

I just dont see the Zooms running away with this one.
 
I was surprised to see this line in the double digits as well. The more I thought about it....I can actually see a scenario where AFA actually puts it on us. Our D-line has done unbelievable work this year but nobody has tested them between the tackles like AFA will. The teams we've played use the run to keep people honest while AFA uses the run to RUN. I'm not calling for AFA to cover but if they do...it will be because they average 5.5 yards on the fullback dive.
 
Bohl is 4-1 against Air Force so he knows how to defend them. My worry is we have 1 semi healthy running back and basically no passing game. They have multiple running threats and a semi competent passing game. I personally wouldn't bet this game because the weather will be a huge wild card.
If I had to bet, I'd take us on the money line because we could win outright. Plus, I can't get out of my mind how great TVW played against AF in the snow last year. Maybe another snow storm will bring out the best in him.
 
This is going to be such an interesting game to watch. On one hand, AFA has had a stellar season, but on the other, Bohl always plays and preps for AFA well.

Our season has been better than how it looks on paper, IMO. We at least beat the spread.

You’re definitely right about Wyoming’s D. I meant that first part to be an explanation as to why Vegas would set that line. The other part is they know Air Force is capable of but doesn’t have to score a ton to win by 11. Our defense can definitely get some stops but probably won’t be able to give our O great field position, so we’re gonna need to figure out how to sustain a few long drives.
 
Gonna get smoked me thinks, all energy done after winning border war, and goal of the 7th win. Hope I'm wrong but AFA will want it more
 
Let it be a sign of disrespect for us. We can go out there and show the bettors how incorrect the spread is.

Go Pokes!
