The Wolf Pack are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games, however, are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. Colorado State. The Rams are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games & 2-4 ATS in their last 6 Tuesday games.

Nevada has been led by their offense which ranks 76^th in scoring offense & 152^nd in FG%, however, the defense has struggled as the Wolf Pack come into this game ranked just t-307^th in scoring defense & 214^th in defensive FG%. Colorado State has been outstanding on both ends of the court as the Rams come into this game ranked 38^th in scoring offense, 3^rd in FG%, & 89^th in scoring defense.

Nevada is just 1-3 on the road this season which includes 20+ losses at Santa Clara & Kansas and it’s hard to imagine the Wolf Pack finding much success on either end of the court in this one. Colorado State is 9-0 at home this season and as I think the Rams offense will be able to put up plenty of points in this one, I think the Colorado State pulls away in the 2^nd half and covers this mid-range spread. Good Luck!
