Randy’s Free Pick
The San Diego State Aztecs are the more talented team and should be favored, but Colorado State isn’t an easy place to play, and 4 of the last 6 meetings between these teams have been decided by 6 or fewer points. The crowd will be out in full force, and Colorado State has the offensive firepower to hang or even pull off the upset. Give me the points.
