Fresno State Bulldogs Betting Form
The Bulldogs (12-13) are coming off a high-water mark for their season, a 93-63 win over Air Force. However, they face a significant hurdle tonight: leading scorer Jake Heidbreder (17.5 PPG) is listed as doubtful with an undisclosed injury. Additionally, guard David Douglas Jr. is out for the season with a knee fracture.
In their absence, Fresno State will rely on DeShawn Gory (12.8 PPG) and Wilson Jacques, who combined for 36 points in their last outing. While the Bulldogs have struggled with a 3-7 road record, they have been a powerhouse for bettors, posting a 17-7 record against the spread (ATS) this season. You can track their efficiency on the Fresno State stats and results page and monitor the Fresno State injury report for any late changes to Heidbreder’s status.
Wyoming Cowboys Betting Form
Wyoming (13-12) is desperate to get back in the win column after a 79-68 loss to Colorado State. The Cowboys rely heavily on the duo of Leland Walker (14.8 PPG) and Nasir Meyer (12.8 PPG). Meyer is a particular threat from deep, shooting 39% from beyond the arc.
The Cowboys’ strength lies in their ability to get to the free-throw line, where they average 18 makes per game. However, depth is a concern for head coach Sundance Wicks; Matija Belic is out, and key forwards Abou Magassa and Gavin Gores are questionable.

Fresno State vs Wyoming Matchup Breakdown
This game is a rematch of a January thriller that Fresno State won by three points. The key difference tonight is the venue; Laramie’s 7,220-foot elevation is a notorious “sixth man” for the Cowboys.
- Shooting vs. Volume: Wyoming is 10-3 this season when scoring more than 71 points. Fresno State’s defense allows 71.8 PPG, making 72 the “magic number” for a Wyoming victory.
- The Injury Gap: If Heidbreder is out for Fresno State, the Bulldogs lose nearly 24% of their offensive production. This puts immense pressure on Gory to carry the scoring load.
- History: Fresno State has won 6 of the last 10 matchups, but they haven’t won in Laramie since the 2019-20 season.

Fresno State vs Wyoming Predictions and Best Bets
The lean here is Fresno State +8.5. While Wyoming is the superior team at home, an 8.5-point spread is generous for a Cowboys team that has lost three straight and is only 7-7 ATS at home. Fresno State’s elite 17-7 ATS record suggests they are consistently undervalued by the market.
Regarding the total, the Over 147.5 is the play. Fresno State’s recent 30-point explosion and Wyoming’s trend of hitting the Over in 9 of their 14 home games suggest a high-scoring affair. Our model projects a 78-71 Wyoming win—covering the Over but failing to cover the large spread.
Best bet: Fresno State +8.5 (-110).
