Wyoming Cowboys (3-3) vs. New Mexico Lobos (2-3)
The college football betting action goes on Saturday, October 8, 2022, with Week 6 matchups including the Mountain West Conference showdown from University Stadium in Albuquerque, New Mexico, so we have prepared the best Cowboys vs. Lobos betting pick and odds.
Wyoming is listed as a slight 3.5-point road fave, while New Mexico sits at +140 moneyline odds. The bookies expect to see a proper low-scoring affair, and the totals are set at 36.0 points. Last year, the Lobos recorded their second straight victory over the Cowboys, outlasting Wyoming 14-3 as huge 20-point road underdogs.
The Wyoming Cowboys (1-1 conf.) put an end to their three-game winning streak in Week 4, suffering a 38-24 defeat as 21-point road dogs at the No. 19 BYU Cougars. Last Saturday, they hosted the San Jose State Spartans as slim 2.5-point underdogs and lost 33-16. The Cowboys racked up just 253 total yards against the Spartans’ stout defense while surrendering 456 in a return.
“I think that's an excellent San Jose State team,” Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl said in his postgame press conference. ”There are certain things we could have done better tonight. We could have coached better. The players could have played better. Their defensive front, they were much more impressive than on tape. There's a bunch of NFL guys on that front four.”
