The Wyoming Cowboys have slipped to third in the Mountain West Conference behind Boise State after the Broncos won last night. The Cowboys can draw level with a home win tonight over the Fresno State Bulldogs, a team that has been struggling. The Bulldogs are coming off back-to-back losses to Utah State and Colorado State. It won't get any easier in Wyoming tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - Wyoming is tough to beat at home, with a record of 16-1 this season. The Bulldogs road record is unimpressive at 3-9. Fresno State's only road wins versus conference foes have come against cellar dwellers San Jose State and Nevada.

2. Previous History - The history in this series certainly favors the home team, with Wyoming 20-6 ATS in it's last 26 home games, and Fresno State just 2-10-1 in it's last 13 on the road.

3. X-Factor - Larry Nance Jr. is the Cowboy's leading scorer, and he's missed Wyoming's last four games. The Senior forward is due to return to the lineup tonight.

Selection: This is a play on the Wyoming Cowboys (8*)
