In the first edition in 15 years of a rivalry that dates back to the beginning of the school’s football program back in 1922, the BYU Cougars (2-0) are heavy favorites in the college football spread when they pay a visit to the reeling 0-2 Wyoming Cowboys on Saturday night.

The Cougars, who are coming off their strongest win of the season, taking down the SMU Mustangs in Texas last weekend, will be looking to move up to 3-0 against a Cowboys team that cannot seem to find the light once again and play the same style of football that led them to a nine-win season in 2023.

With BYU looking to score an easy win on the road, their second in consecutive weeks, what’s the best college football pick for this matchup?

BYU vs Wyoming Betting Keys

Cowboys Not Ready for What BYU has in Store

I can’t honestly tell you what’s worse for Wyoming: the 48-7 road loss against Arizona State in Week 1 or their 17-13 home loss to Idaho, 1all while being 7-point favorites in the online betting spread. Ok, no, I take it back. Last weekend’s loss against Idaho definitely takes the prize here.

After the game, Cowboys coach Jay Sawvel stated to the media, “These are mistakes that good football teams don’t make, and these are mistakes that 0-2 teams do make, and we’re 0-2, and we’ve made those mistakes.”

Averaging just 10 points on offense, the Cowboys’ attack, led by quarterback Evan Svoboda, isn’t really anything that could rattle a BYU defense that’s allowing 14 points per game.

With a lackluster passing game, if Wyoming wishes to do any real damage and put up a fight as 11-point NCAAF lines home underdogs, pushing for a stronger performance from the team’s rushing attack led by DJ Jones could work well. Considering how the team has been performing, though, there’s little hope coming out of Laramie for Saturday night’s game.

My Favorite BYU vs Wyoming Pick

Cowboys No Match to Stop BYU ATS

You could argue that even while being 2-0, BYU hasn’t really shown any real fireworks on offense, but it has shown more firepower on the defensive side of the ball. But, at the end of the day, the Cougars have still managed to pull through and continue undefeated in the season, so I guess that’s that.

On Saturday, when they pay Wyoming their first visit in 15 years, the Cougars should be fine with dispatching an opponent that has shown nearly nothing to excite college football betting odds fans this season. Just remember, this is a Wyoming team that’s coming off a loss against Idaho as touchdown favorites.

Between BYU’s defense giving Wyoming’s offense hell and the offense continuing to show improvement, even at a half tank, I say take the Cougars comfortably to cover the 11=point spread and move to 3-0.

 

Bet on BYU -11 (-110) vs Wyoming
