Colorado State vs Air Force Prediction 1/28/25 College Basketball Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate a Colorado State vs Air Force Prediction for this college basketball game on Tuesday,  January 28th, at the Moby Arena. Let’s take a look at a Colorado State Rams vs Air Force Falcons pick.

Air Force Struggled

Air Force struggled in the last game and it has been a common theme all season. Air Force scored only 58 points while the defense gave up 87 points and that led to the 29-point defeat. At halftime, they were down only nine points, but in the second half, it got even worse. Ethan Taylor was the top player for the Air Force, but he was the only real bright spot for the team. Two games ago against San Diego State, they were more competitive but they still ended up losing 77-76. 

Air Force overall sits with a 3-17 record overall and they have gone 8-12 against the spread so far this season. Air Force overall this season is averaging 63.6 points while their defense is giving up 71.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 357th in the league while the defense is ranked 178th. Guard Ethan Taylor has been the top player overall this season averaging 15.3 points while shooting 42.1 percent from the field. 

Colorado State Looks for Fourth Straight Win

Colorado State has a ton of confidence right now, and they are looking for their fourth straight win. In the last game they faced off against Fresno State and they were able to secure the 69-64 victory. Colorado State was up 33-31 at halftime and they continued to find success in the second half. Nique Clifford had a strong game putting up 24 points, eight rebounds, and three assists. 

Colorado State sits with a 13-7 record overall and they have gone 9-11 against the spread. Colorado State is averaging 73.9 points while their defense is giving up 68.3 points per game. The offense is ranked 206th while the defense is ranked 91st in the league. Nique Clifford has been the top player, averaging 17.5 points while shooting 49.8 percent from the field and 34.7 percent from behind the three-point line. 

Colorado State vs Air Force Prediction

Air Force was better two games ago, but it’s not going to be the same here. Air Force is averaging 63.6 points per game but that type of offensive production isn’t going to be enough here. I do expect the Air Force is going to do a good job of slowing down the pace, though, because they know to have a shot, they are going to need this game to be lower-scoring. Back the under to cash here.
