Wyoming vs. San Jose State: Betting Model Predicts Over

The San Jose State Spartans are set to host the Wyoming Cowboys on Friday in a key Mountain West Conference game. San Jose State, with a 3-2 record and a 1-0 mark in conference play, has shown recent form by winning three of its last four games. They have also proven to be a reliable bet, holding a 3-2 record against the spread this season. The Spartans are favored by 4.5 points in the latest odds.

Wyoming enters the contest with a 2-3 overall record and a 1-1 standing in the Mountain West. The Cowboys' season has been a series of alternating wins and losses, and they are looking to recover from a recent 28-0 shutout loss. Their performance against the spread has been less consistent, with only one cover in five games. The over/under for Friday's game is set at 42.5 points, with the model projecting a total of 45 points.
