Colorado State Rams vs Nevada Wolf Pack prediction
The Colorado State Rams have been hit or miss over the last few weeks, and they’re running into a Nevada team that’s beat them twice this season. Nevada beat Colorado State a couple of weeks ago on the road. The Nevada Wolf Pack have the rest advantage, and they haven’t lost a game since February 13. With the better defense and fresher legs, Nevada should win this game. I’ll lay the bucket with the Wolf Pack.
