San Jose State might finally become the team many thought it would be just a couple months ago.
The Spartans began the year with a two-point loss against Central Michigan at home before losing to Texas on the road. Then the Spartans barely defeated FCS Idaho 31-28 before losing out on an opportunity to put a Power Four win on their resume, falling at Stanford 30-29.
But SJSU might be back on track. The Spartans pulled off a 35-28 win over New Mexico, giving them a 1-0 record in the Mountain West standings.
Will SJSU stay undefeated in conference play against Wyoming? The Cowboys started out 2-0 but are now on a three-game losing streak. Granted, two of those losses were against Power Four programs Utah and Colorado, but Wyoming also lost to UNLV 31-17 at home.
This San Jose State team now has a chance to also gain a win at Wyoming.

San Jose State vs. Wyoming Prediction
I predict San Jose State will win and cover the 1.5-point spread. I also project the game will go Over 49.5 total points.
I’m considering what both teams have done this season and heavily weighing what both have done the past few weeks.
San Jose State is averaging almost 32 points per game in its last three outings after scoring a combined 21 points against Central Michigan and Texas to start the year.
Wyoming, meanwhile, has allowed more than 30 points in each of its last three games after giving up just seven points to start the year. I know the Cowboys played some good teams in recent weeks, but I still don’t think things are trending in a positive direction for them.
Walker Eget and Danny Scudero have been a top-notch quarterback-wide receiver duo for San Jose State. Eget has thrown for 1,521 yards, nine touchdowns, and three interceptions while completing 62% of his passes while Scudero has caught 40 passes for 665 yards – the most in the FBS – for four touchdowns. I think they both thrive against Wyoming.
I believed this San Jose State team would be in the mix for a Mountain West Championship appearance going into the season. And I think the Spartans are finally starting to play like the team they’re capable of being.
