College Football Betting - Mountain West Power Poll

1: Air Force Falcons (7-2 ATS, 8-2 SU) Air Force has sort of been the forgotten team in a conference that includes Utah, TCU, and BYU. The Falcons rank 4th in the NCAA in rushing yards with 275.4 yards per game. They’re 5-1 ATS at home and will put that mark on the line when BYU comes to town next weekend.

Next up: Home vs. BYU (9-1)

2: Utah Utes (5-3-1 ATS, 10-0 SU) The Utes appear to be a couple wins away from cracking the BCS for the second time in school history. In a critical Thursday night showdown, they knocked off TCU 13-10 in dramatic fashion. The last road test of the season for the Utes is at San Diego State, a place where they have covered back-to-back games by an average of 12.5 points per game.

Next up: Away @ San Diego State (1-9)

3: Texas Christian Horned Frogs (7-3 ATS, 9-2 SU) TCU looked primed to go to the BCS if they could hold on against Utah, but their defense let them down at the very end, allowing the Utes to march the field for the game-winning score with under a minute to play. The 13-10 defeat snapped their three-game cover streak for sports betting fanatics.

Next up: Bye

4: UNLV Runnin’ Rebels (5-4-1 ATS, 4-6 SU) Though their prospects of qualifying for a bowl game are bleak, UNLV kept their dreams alive by beating the Lobos 27-20. The Rebels will need a stronger defensive effort than what they’ve gotten this season though, as they rank 105th in yards allowed (431.5). They’re just 8-23 ATS in their L/31 games against teams with losing records.

Next up: Home vs. Wyoming (4-6)

5: New Mexico Lobos (6-5 ATS, 4-7 SU) A three-game losing streak guarantees that the Lobos won’t be in a bowl game for the first time in three years. A pair of interceptions and a blocked punt for a touchdown did the Lobos in against UNLV last weekend, as they dropped the 27-20 decision to the Runnin’ Rebels as six-point road favorites. They’ll wrap up a very disappointing season in Colorado State next weekend.

Next up: Away @ Colorado State (4-6)

6: Colorado State Rams (4-5 ATS, 4-6 SU) The Rams were whipped by Air Force last week 38-17 after giving up 455 yards of offense to the Falcons. They’ve been much friskier at home than on the road this year, as they’ve already taken the best shots of TCU and BYU in Fort Collins, and are 4-1 ATS overall at home. Dating back to last season, Colorado State has covered five out of its L/6 at home.

Next up: Home vs. New Mexico (4-7)

7: San Diego State Aztecs (4-5 ATS, 1-9 SU) The Aztecs kept inside of the 36.5-point spread they faced in Provo last weekend, but they dropped their sixth straight contest by losing 41-12. The good news is that they’re 2-1 ATS at home, but the bad news is that Utah is on a mission right now, and that’s probably not good news for a squad that’s already lost six games by at least 25 points this year.

Next Up: Home vs. Utah (10-0)

8: Wyoming Cowboys (2-7 ATS, 4-6 SU) It hasn’t been a great season for the Cowboys, but at least they spoiled homecoming for the Volunteers. Wyoming won in Knoxville 13-7 as 27-point underdogs, making it one of the biggest upsets of the season. It has a short week to prepare for UNLV this week, and is just 1-3 ATS on the road this season.
