Wyoming is opening at -3 vs EMU this weekend. Guess Vegas isn't buying into our hype. I thought the line would be closer to 7.

We will have May back for this game. I haven't heard of anyone else out for this game, but I haven't heard any more about Wick.

Nope, means we are favored by 3.

Vegas sets the line to get equal action on both teams. They will start adjusting lines when gamblers start betting on us.

We should be fine in this game as long as we aren't looking ahead to csewe. BTW, I was on the sheep website looking for tickets and the game is nearly sold out already.

I'm making the trip out to Yspilianti for this pivitol game..... j/k.

Don't they get like 3k fans per game? It's going to be a weird atmosphere on a Friday night. We need a focused week of practice.

You'd think with it being 2016, they would've updated their forum format. 5 years ago. How anyone can still use that style is beyond me.

These lines usually give 3 points to the home team as a basic rule of thumb, so really its almost like being 6-point favorites

I see no reason why we can't hang 10+ on EMU.

It opened at -3 and jumped to -4 in a matter of minutes. Look for it to close around 6-8.

Texas State in 2013 by 10. Since 2010, there have only been seven games where the Cowboys were road favorites.

4-3 straight up. 3-4 ATS.

Kinnick is a blast. Better tailgating than The Horseshoe, that's for sure.

I'll be there +7. True story, we bought tix in the 2nd row for 8 of us, total cost $92 after fees. Love the cheap opportunity for a road game now and then. Cheers to covering 3, cuz we get this done and then some this week. See u in Ypsi!

Where are you seeing this? Looks like it's moving the other way to me

Part of why they don't seem to be buying our "hype" could have something to do with the fact that we haven't beat anyone with a FBS win this season...

line now 2.5 on 5 dimes. I suspect that beating a lower division game with no line last week meant nothing. We didn't cover in our 1 road game this year. So we will have to win games like this to get some respect from the bettors. I bet us. We have to beat nothing teams like this.

Nothing teams can throw against the Pokes (thanks Stanard). But if the defensive
line can overmatch the EM line and put heat on the QB, the secondary weakness
can be overcome.
