Vegas Play of the Day: San Diego State at Wyoming

Here’s the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll — fictional, of course.

San Diego State plus-2 at Wyoming: $440 to win $400

This feels like the perfect line, because it’s basically a coin flip with an edge to the home team at Arena-Auditorium. I’ve gone back and forth and couldn’t fault anyone for laying the points, but I think there’s a decent chance we see a one-point game or an outright win for the Aztecs.

It would be easier for the Vegas Play of the Day to lay 11.5 points with Fresno State at San Jose State to call it a day. But that’s no fun, so I’m trying to peg the Mountain West’s best game this week.

The biggest risk you take with San Diego State is that the offense just never clicks, even a little. I’m also concerned that their pressure defense won’t affect a veteran team like the Cowboys the way it does lesser teams.

However, I don’t see anyone running away with this league, so if that’s the case, a Wyoming loss is going to have to come sooner or later.

Ideally we get a classic with a one-point margin either way. That’s what I’m hoping for and betting on.

Standings: Bern (61-52-1, $11,526), Keefer (60-61-2, $9,897), Brewer (56-61-3, $5,785)
