Colorado State vs. Boise State Prediction
I’m going to lean towards Colorado State here. I still have question marks about this Boise State team and I just don’t know if the Broncos can slow down the Rams offensively. This Colorado State team is just efficient all over the floor and I don’t know if Boise State can match that for a full 40 minutes. The Broncos will be fine in conference play, but Colorado State is simply the better team here. Give me the Rams.
