Wyoming vs. Colorado State Prediction, Odds and Key Players to Watch for College Football Week 12

Colorado State has picked up traction as a potential Mountain West Championship Game contender as the Rams are unbeaten in Mountain West play.

The Rams resume play out of its BYE week as a big home favorite against Wyoming, who is hoping to improve into the end of the season with new quarterback Kaden Anderson under center and a big boost at running back with Harrison Waylee fit to play.

Who has the edge in this Mountain West showdown on Friday night? Let’s get you ready below.

Spread

Moneyline

Total: 47.5 (Over -110/Under -110)

Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook

Wyoming

Harrison Waylee: Waylee made his season debut after being on the sidelines due to a knee injury. Finally on the field, Waylee showed what Wyoming was missing in 2024 as he took 27 carries for 170 yards and a touchdown in the team’s 49-45 win against New Mexico.

Colorado State

Avery Morrow: The Rams running back continues to play at a high level, averaging more than six yards per carry as he pushes for 1,000 yards on the season. A high-volume running back, he has at least 16 rushes in the last six games, Morrow will get an advantageous matchup against a Wyoming defense that is bottom five in yards per carry allowed.

Wyoming continues to undergo some changes throughout the season, and I believe that out of the BYE week, the team can continue to improve its play.

With Waylee back to aid new starting quarterback Kaden Anderson, who passed for 342 yards and three touchdowns against New Mexico, the Cowboys offense may be trending up into the end of the season.

Colorado State’s defense has been able to feast on turnovers and limiting explosive plays, but the defense gets little pressure (125th in sacks) and is outside the top 100 in success rate. Against a healthier Wyoming team, I believe the team is due for some regression on defense and allows more points than expected.

However, the Cowboys’ defense has little to no upside. The defense is 112th in EPA/Play and can’t get teams off the field at all. Colorado State’s offense should be able to move the ball with relative ease as Morrow should be in line for a big day on the ground.

Wyoming has allowed 24 or more in conference play to every team that isn’t Air Force, the worst team in the league, so I believe that Colorado State should have little issue generating scoring chances.

With a low total due to pace, I’m going to side with the ability for both offenses to create quality drives and for the game to go over the total.

PICK: OVER 47.5

Wyoming governor pledges to appeal after judge blocks pro-life laws

Wyoming governor pledges to appeal after judge blocks pro-life laws

By Kate Quiñones

CNA Staff, Nov 21, 2024 / 06:00 am

Here is a roundup of recent pro-life and abortion-related news.

Wyoming judge blocks state pro-life laws

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon plans to appeal to the state Supreme Court after a county judge blocked two pro-life laws in Wyoming. The judge blocked the Life Is a Human Right Act, which protected unborn children except in cases when the mother’s life was at risk or in cases of rape or incest, as well as a law prohibiting chemical abortions via abortion pills, a law signed by Gordon in March 2023.

Gordon said on Tuesday that the ruling was “frustrating” and that he instructed his attorney general to prepare to appeal the decision to the Wyoming Supreme Court.

Teton County District Judge Melissa Owens ruled on Monday that the two laws violated the state constitution by restricting medical decisions. Owen has blocked Wyoming abortion laws three times since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. Now that the ruling has been struck down, abortion is legal up until fetal viability in Wyoming.

The plaintiffs included Wyoming abortion clinic Wellspring Health Access, two obstetricians, two other women, and the Wyoming abortion advocacy group Chelsea’s Fund. Following the ruling, Chelsea’s Fund stated on Tuesday that it “will do everything in our power to uphold this ruling in the Wyoming Supreme Court.”

Montana judge blocks licensing law for abortion clinic

A Montana District Court temporarily paused the state’s recent health department licensing regulations for abortion clinics amid pending litigation. House Bill 937 required licensure and regulation of abortion clinics and included rules for sanitation standards, emergency equipment, and hotlines for women who are coerced into an abortion or are victims of sex trafficking.

Two abortion providers, All Families Healthcare in Kalispell and Blue Mountain Clinic in Missoula, and an abortionist sued over the regulations, saying they would have to close if they were implemented. Lewis and Clark County District Court Judge Chris Abbot ruled in their favor, saying that H.B. 937 was a shift in “the status quo” that abortion providers “are not generally considered health care facilities subject to a licensure requirement.” Montana voters approved Initiative 128 on Election Day, enshrining a right to abortion in the constitution and allowing abortion after fetal viability.

Virginia bishops condemn fast-tracked right to abortion proposal

Two Virginia bishops recently opposed a proposed amendment granting a right to abortion, which was fast-tracked by the state House Privileges and Elections Committee. Bishops Michael Burbidge of Arlington and Barry Knestout of Richmond in a Nov. 13 statement called the proposed right to abortion “a fundamental tragedy.” Virginia law currently allows abortion up to 26 weeks and six days and allows abortion after that in certain cases. Burbidge and Knestout encouraged Virginia to “work instead for policies that affirm the life and dignity of every mother and every child.”

The bishops also opposed a fast-tracked proposal to remove the definition of marriage as between one man and one woman from the state constitution. The bishops noted that they “affirm the dignity of every person” and “affirm too that marriage is exclusively the union of one man and one woman.” Following the election, the bishops encouraged “deep engagement in decisions” that are at “the heart of who we are.”
