The Pick:
Lobos pick'em over Wyoming
(4 stars out of 5)
(The line just dropped to even).
So what you'll hear from the trolls in BWS and PackersBackers and Hugh with this pick is that I lost on my Wyoming picks last year.
Those threads were the Boise State thread and SDS thread.
The the fact is, I'm 2-2 posting threads with Wyoming involved. I play them and I fade them when it is fitting.
I had a thread on Wyoming -6 over Utah State last year (where they crushed UTS) and a thread this year against Hawaii where Wyoming covered in OT.
So to say my Wyoming threads are cursed is fallacy (and they promote fallacy to plant seeds of doubt in readers heads. Why? They have no lives).
Onto the pick:
Can we bet against the Cowboys in Laramie?
Yes.
Why?
1. Craig Bohl still hasn't figured out how to stop the Lobos and this isn't the Cowboys team to do it.
You love Craig Bohl. He's a leathery task-master who knows how to motivate his players. I love him too. He gets the most talent out of a team that has issues recruiting. That is why they brought him in.
But guess what is the one team Bohl hasn't beaten in his tenure with the Cowboys:
That's right...The Lobos.
He's lost all three years. And with a Pick'Em all we care about is straight up:
56-35
38-28
36-30
Why? He cannot get his team to figure out their triple option. And New Mexico comes in this game the 17th ranked rushing team in the nation.
And Wyomings rushing D is below average at 75th in the nation. And this team has lost key players on D from last year.
How in the world is this Wyoming team, the one you've watched, the one that seems to have lost that 'spark' from last year despite their 4-3 record, going to beat UNM when I tell you the next bullet?
2. The Lobos ran for 568 yards last year: The MOST in the nation by any FBS team.
Even more than Michigan ran against Rutgers in a 78-0 beating where they threw one pass in the second half and ran the rest.
And this is in a season where they were Co-Moutain West Champs with the Lobos! The miracle season! And they were destroyed by the Lobos in that season.
Bohl still did not have a gameplan for the Lobos...after three years of coaching. And now he comes in a 4th year with a Defense that is statistically worse and has lost key pieces.
But he even has MORE pieces missing.

50% this year and one play for $2,000 (typically considered 20 units I WON). So 500 is the real fairy tale.
