Utah vs Wyoming Prediction
The current betting odds have Utah listed as a 23.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Utah has looked great in their games this season with their 2-0 record overall. They blew out UCLA in their season opener and now they are off a big win over a team from the FCS. Utah had a bad season last year as they didn't really have a solid QB, but those days are over now with Devon Dampier. Dampier has given this offense new life, and the defense always has a ton of talent too. Meanwhile, Wyoming has looked good in their games this season with their 2-0 record overall, but they definitely aren't an impressive 2-0. They beat up on a team from the FCS in their last game, beating Northern Iowa at home, and they won their season opener on the road against Akron in a 10-0 game. Akron might just be the worst team in FBS this season though so Wyoming hasn't really been tested at all and their offense still hasn't looked great against 2 bad teams. Their defense is only going to be able to do so much at home in this one before the flood gates open with the talent that Utah has on offense. Utah is emerging as a true threat in the Big 12 this season and they are not going to be slowed down by another bad team who just might be one of the worst teams in FBS this year too. The best way to place a bet here is on Utah to cover the spread in this game.
