Denver Pioneers vs South Dakota State Jackrabbits prediction
Denver and South Dakota State split the two games this season, and they were both blowouts. The third meeting should be interesting. With that said, South Dakota State has been far and away more consistent, with wins in 9 of its last 10 games. South Dakota State also has won 9 of the last 10 games against Denver overall. Also, South Dakota State has covered 8 of its last 10 games and is 17-13 ATS on the season. Denver has failed to cover 6 of its last 10 games and is 13-15-1 ATS on the season. Thick line, but I have to lean toward the Jackrabbits.
