Wyoming is 3-1 and 2-2 ATS through four games this season, as it attempts to build off a 20-19 victory over FAU as three-point home favorites last Saturday, while going UNDER the betting total for a fourth consecutive affair. The Cowboys earned a 334-296 advantage in total yards, including a 161-108 margin on the ground, which can’t be ignored when looking over the Week 5 college football lines. Wyoming is 4-0 ATS in its last four affairs after allowing less than 20 points in its previous game.
The Cowboys have some weapons offensively in running backs D.J. May and Shaun Wick, as the duo combined for 182 yards last week, but they need to receive better play from quarterback Colby Kirkegaard. He completed 10 of 23 passes for 161 yards, with his main target being wide receiver Dominic Rufran, who has caught a pass in 41-straight games. Defensively, the main player to watch is senior linebacker Devyn Harris, who has surpassed 200 career tackles.
Michigan State was able to bounce back from a road defeat to Oregon in Week 2, as it picked up a 73-14 blowout victory over the Eastern Michigan Eagles as 43.5-point home favorites last Saturday, while going OVER the betting total for the third time in as many opportunities. The Spartans’ 49 points before the intermission were the most by the program in an opening half in the post-WWII era. It’s important to point out that the squad has climbed above the betting total in its last five contests.
The Spartans defense played angry in its last affair, as they held the Eagles to one yard of total offense in the opening 30 minutes. Offensively, starting quarterback Connor Cook will look to play deeper into the game, as he completed 5-of-6 passes for 83 yards and two touchdowns. Head coach Mark Dantonio was happy with the team’s overall performance, especially its six turnovers gained, with two of those coming from the special-teams unit.
Sports bettors will likely back the Spartans due to their 9-2-1 ATS mark versus teams with a winning record.
