Wyoming picked.....

Seems about right based on the coaching last year and brand new defensive unit this year. I believe we will do better than that with some of our offensive weapons but I’m also wearing brown and gold glasses.
 
Wyoming is -8.5 with Akron and it is surprising. May just show how bad Akron has fallen. Figured it would have been the standard +3.
 
We get some of the tougher conference games at home. I'm hoping suds are duds and have packed it in by the time we play them.

I'll go 6 to 7 wins and about 6th +/-.
 
I'm guessing it was 3 or 4 years ago when we played at Connecticut. We barely won but I think we were pretty big favorites. They hadn't won a game in more than a year.
 
Wyoming has been in the 20-25 average points scored range since 2016 and has averaged around 327 yards of total offense with only 2 seasons since 2016 over 350.

It’s easy to understand why the media just sees more of the same since it’s been anemic for the last 10 years which is the #1 reason why the program has floundered around the .500 mark. Wyoming will never win a popularity contest.

I do like our chances to improve with Anderson at QB but am apprehensive after the last 10 years of expecting much more than a chance to get to .500 this season.

We better cover easily at Akron if we are going to be .500 or better. If we lose to a program that has won only 11 games in the last 6 seasons and lost some key players then it will cement that Burman made another hiring blunder.

Correct. Wyoming were, somehow, 31.5 point favorites in that game. I was there and it was absolutely miserable.

Uconn missed a 2 point conversion to tie it with 4 seconds left. I think our DBs had probably 5 DPI to extend drives that game. And Sean Chambers threw 2 picks.

Now you did it. Time to burn sage, do a chant, or something.

If any school in FBS will lose on the road to a team that should eliminate their football program and save money, it's WYO.

If we lose to Akron, we will know that we are back in the Koenning era of football programs. Given what I saw last year in terms of coaching (or lack thereof), this certainly cannot be ruled out.
 
If my life depended on accurately predicting the outcome of the Wyo vs. Akron game, I would really have to think about it. Historically bad road team with a historically bad coaching staff up against arguably the worst football program in FBS...it's a tough call.

A loss to Akron to open the season could be the final nail in the coffin.
