POINSETTIA BOWL - This is a tough way to end the season for Brigham Young, losing QB Taysom Hill in the last game with a season-ending injury. Sophomore QB Tanner Mangum has to step in, who doesn't run the way Hill does. Only one of the Cougars' eight victories came against a winning FBS team (9-3 Toledo). BYU is on a four-game winning streak, but it was against teams with a combined 15-32 record. The Cougars are 2-8 ATS after accumulating fewer than 170 yards passing in their previous game. BYU has lost three straight Bowls where they allowed 35, 55 and 31 points. Wyoming has great balance on offense with sophomore QB Josh Allen (26 TDs, 13 INTs) and junior RB Brian Hill (1,767 yards, 5.5 ypc, 21 touchdowns). This team won 30-28 over #13 Boise State in October. Wyoming has covered seven of the last nine games. Play Wyoming.

The BYU Cougars' reputation is a bit inflated. Both of these teams come in with an identical 2-5 mark yet the Cougars are laying double-digits. It is asking a lot when you have a team that has scored an average of 14.7 points per game to tackle a double-digit number to come out with an ATS win. The Cougars have not topped the 24-point mark offensively all season. The Wyoming offense has been held in check, but look at the schedule they have faced: Texas, Utah, TCU, Boise State and Air Force are a combined 28-4 on the season. You can also add 4-3 Toledo as another winning team, to their list of opponents. Wyoming has faced one of the top 5 toughest schedules in the country! I certainly that think the level of competition in this one is going to offer a lot less resistance as BYU has lost more games than the entire schedule the Cowboys have faced this year. Wyoming has been getting it done on the road at 8-1 ATS in their last nine, while the Cougars have now gone 2-8 ATS in their last 10 vs. a team with a losing record. Wyoming covers against BYU.
