Colorado State vs Nevada Prediction
The Colorado State Rams are always a tough out at home and this season is no different where they’ve seen 11 of their 16 wins come. Colorado State also beat Nevada back in December. However, you can argue Nevada is the better team overall, with a more efficient offense and a defense that defends slightly better as well. Nevada is also playing some of its best ball of the season, which includes a 4-0 SU and ATS record in its last four games. Nevada has allowed less than 70 points in each of its last six games. This should be a tight one. Give me Nevada and the points.
