The Air Force Falcons will travel to face the Wyoming Cowboys in what is shaping up to be a critical early-season game for both programs. Air Force, with a 1-2 record, is favored by 4.5 points heading into the contest. The Falcons are looking to bounce back from a tough loss to Baylor, where their offense managed just 218 total yards in a 31-3 defeat. While Air Force has excelled on the ground, averaging 167.3 rushing yards per game, they have struggled to move the ball through the air and convert on key third downs.

Wyoming, on the other hand, is still seeking their first win of the season after a disappointing 0-4 start. The Cowboys are coming off a 44-17 loss to North Texas, in which their defense was gashed for over 500 total yards, including 216 on the ground. Despite their poor record, Wyoming has shown flashes of competitiveness in their passing game behind quarterback Evan Svoboda, but their inability to sustain drives and stop the run has been a major concern. This game is expected to be a physical contest, with both teams relying heavily on their running attacks. Air Force’s option offense will challenge Wyoming’s struggling run defense, which is allowing 6.8 yards per rush this season. On the flip side, Wyoming will need to improve their offensive consistency if they want to keep pace with the Falcons. Given both teams’ struggles against the spread, the game could be closer than expected, especially if Wyoming can exploit Air Force’s weaknesses on defense.
