Why Wyoming can cover
The Cowboys are just 1-2, having beaten Hawaii 31-7 on Oct. 30 but dropping a 37-34 overtime decision to Nevada in the opener and a 34-24 outcome to Colorado State on Nov. 5. COVID-19 outbreaks with Utah State last week and Air Force two weeks ago canceled both Mountain West affairs.
Wyoming's calling card is defense, allowing just 95.5 rushing yards per game in 2020. Quarterback Levi Williams (660 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 interception) is able to hit the deep throw, and the ground game was able to pile up 281 yards on Hawaii.
Why UNLV can cover
The Rebels are winless in 2020, having dropped a 34-17 decision to San Jose State last week. Quarterback Max Gilliam has passed for 534 yards and four touchdowns, and running back Charles Williams has rushed for 323 yards and two touchdowns.
UNLV utilizes two quarterbacks, as Justin Rogers also gets plenty of meaningful action. Fourteen of the 24 games in the all-time series have been decided by one score or less, including 2016 when UNLV pulled off a 69-66 triple-overtime victory to mark itself as the highest-scoring game in Mountain West history.
