Week 7 is the first week where it is 100 percent Mountain West play and just maybe there will be some sort of hierarchy figured out with this league.
This week we have another pair of dueling games on Friday night that begins with San Diego State at New Mexico, and then Fresno State traveling to UNLV.
| SAN DIEGO STATE AZTECS @ NEW MEXICO LOBOS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Lobos are not a double-digit underdog -- even at home -- is showing how much New Mexico has been improving. However, the loss of running back Cruose Gongbay for maybe the rest of the year sways my early pick to go with "San Diego State.
| FRESNO STATE BULLDOGS @ UNLV REBELS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fresno State could very well start 2-0 in league, and as I mentioned in the past I am no longer taking UNLV. However, this is a double-digit line for Fresno State, but that does not matter, Bulldogs for the big win.
| AIR FORCE FALCONS @ UTAH STATE AGGIES | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This has the potential to be a great game for a late-night Saturday game and this game will give a good indication if either of these teams are a contender to win the Mountain Division. Nine points is a lot for Utah State so my early pick is taking Air Force to cover, but not get the outright win.
| COLORADO STATE RAMS @ NEVADA WOLF PACK | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is a surprising opening line to see Colorado State being a one-point road favorite over Nevada. This very well could be the best two teams in the Mountain West, and that is partly because each teams are good and the other half is that the league is still very jumbled as to who is the best team. Can't go wrong by taking Nevada at home.
| WYOMING COWBOYS @ HAWAII WARRIORS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This game is for the extreme hardcore college football fans who live on the mainland. Hawaii a favorite?!?! That is surprising given how Wyoming is much improved, and Hawaii is still Hawaii. This game will put the Cowboys one game closer to go Bohl-ing and all of the puns.
