Colorado State is 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games and 7-22-2 ATS in their last 31 Friday games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall.
This is a steep line, but I think it is where it is for a reason. I haven’t been overly impressed with Bradley early on this season and Colorado State, well the Rams are lighting it up offensively and are also topping it off with solid defense, which isn’t something that can’t necessarily be said for Bradley who have had issues offensively early on this season. I’ll lay the points with Colorado State in what I see being a 15+ point win for the Rams.
