Colorado State typically has a very good home field advantage due to Hughes Stadium being situated at 5,190 feet above sea level. Non-altitude teams usually struggle playing that high up. For example a non-altitude team like San Diego State struggled mightily to defeat Colorado State a few weeks ago as a 2 TD favorite 18-15.
That, however, is not a factor with Wyoming because the Cowboys' War Memorial stadium is the highest football stadium in the country sitting at 7,220 feet above sea level.
Thus, one of the main advantages the Buffalos often enjoy at home is nullified when they play another altitude team like Wyoming.
Wyoming pounded Colorado State 44-0 at home last season, and I look for another one-sided game again this season. Wyoming will probably be my top play of the week, and I won't be dissuaded by line movements.
