Washington State is home after a dramatic finish to beat Rutgers last week. QB Luke Falk connected with River Cracraft for the go-ahead touchdown with 13 seconds remaining to edge the Scarlet Knights 37-34. Falk was named Pac-12 Player of the Week, finishing with 478 yards passing and four touchdowns. The Cougars are 4-1 ATS in September, plus 4-1 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record. They catch a big break here in facing a weak Wyoming squad. The Cowboys lost their first two games while battling injuries at quarterback. Backup Josh Allen was lost for the season with a shoulder injury in last week's 48-29 loss to Eastern Michigan and starter Cameron Coffman is returning from a knee injury he suffered in the opener. Coffman expects to play but hasn't been 100% in practice all week. Wyoming is on a 5-17 ATS run and is no bounce-back team at 20-43 ATS after a straight-up loss. The Cowboys have played 23 freshmen, tying them with Florida State and North Carolina State for the second-most this season. They will look to run the football to control the ball and the clock behind RB Brian Hill, the Mountain's West's leading rusher with 273 yards and 8.8 yards per carry. Wyoming is also 16-6 UNDER the total after allowing more than 280 yards passing in their previous game. This is a big total as Washington State throws all day long, but even they will have little trouble shutting down a Wyoming team that is averaging 21.5 points per game after playing North Dakota and Eastern Michigan -- and now steps up to face the Pac-12. Back Washington State and the UNDER.
