Wyoming at Colorado State

Neither offense in this one did much of anything last season. Wyoming averaged just 16 points per game in a 4-8 finish under Jay Sawvel, and Colorado State wasn't much better, at under 19 per game in a 2-10 season that also saw the defense give up nearly 31 points per game. Two units that struggled to score meeting up rarely turns into a shootout just because it's Week 1, and if anything, a true season opener tends to amplify the sloppiness that was already showing up on tape last year rather than erase it. Wyoming's defense held up its end reasonably well, allowing just over 20 points a game, giving Colorado State's already limited offense even less room to operate. The betting market backs this up clearly, with the heavier money sitting on the UNDER here. When both sides bring bottom-tier scoring numbers from a year ago into a true opener, the path to a low-scoring, grind-it-out game is a lot more obvious than the path to points piling up from either direction. Back the UNDER tonight.
