Boise State vs Colorado State Betting Prediction
Boise State comes into this game playing very well and they have won eight of their last ten games. The Broncos did beat a good New Mexico team on the road in their last game and they are only allowing 66.5 points against per game this year. Colorado State started the season playing excellent basketball, but they have struggled over the last few weeks. The Rams are scoring 79.8 points per game and they are shooting 50.4% from the field, but this will be one of the best defensive teams they have played. Boise State has been one of the best teams in the Mountain West so far this season, so I will gladly take them with the points here.
