Wyoming vs Air Force Prediction

This matchup sets up well for Wyoming because of scoring and rebounding. Air Force is allowing over 80 points per game, and Wyoming’s trio of Walker, Meyer, and Bennett should consistently find quality looks. The Falcons simply have not shown the ability to defend or keep pace offensively, especially on the road.
