Air Force Falcons vs Colorado State Rams prediction
I’m not running to the window to lay this many points with the Colorado State Rams, but backing Air Force just isn’t an option. The Air Force Falcons play way too slow, they’ve lost 6 straight games and they’re not covering numbers. Air Force is 5-10 ATS on the season and is playing a Colorado State team that’s won 9 of the last 10 meetings. If forced to pick this game, I have to lay the points with the Colorado State Rams at home.
