Colorado State vs. Nevada Prediction
I’m backing the over here. I think this is a game where Colorado State gets what they want offensively, but I also don’t see Nevada having a ton of success slowing down the Wolf Pack. I’m looking for fireworks here between two of the faster-paced teams in the Mountain West so give me the over in this one.
