Idaho St. Bengals vs Wyoming Cowboys prediction, odds and best bet
Wyoming will beat Idaho State, with a projected score of Wyoming 79, Idaho State 66. The Cowboys’ efficient opening performance and rebounding advantage give them the stronger early case, while the Bengals must improve after shooting 35% in their opener. Neither Wyoming -18.5 (-112) nor the 147.5 total offers a convincing betting edge, so the official recommendation is Pass.
Idaho St. Bengals vs Wyoming Cowboys prediction and best bet
Wyoming is the winner pick, but asking the Cowboys to cover 18.5 points requires a stronger judgment than picking them outright. Their opener offered encouraging signs across shooting, passing and possession control. Those signs favor Wyoming without making a runaway victory the most persuasive forecast.
The official betting recommendation is Pass. Our 13-point projected margin falls short of the spread, while Bandwagon’s independent model expects an even closer game. That makes laying the points uncomfortable. Idaho State’s difficult opening performance also keeps the underdog from becoming an automatic selection simply because it receives a large cushion.
