Denver vs. Colorado State Prediction
I’m rolling with Colorado State here. This is going to be a complete shock to Denver’s system as they’ve yet to play an offense anywhere in the world close to Colorado State’s so far this season and I’m just not about to jump off the Rams’ wagon just because. Give me Colorado State here.
