Colorado State Rams vs UNLV Rebels prediction
Bettors have been pounding UNLV since the opener, which has shifted this line quite a bit. While I considered fading the public, I’m on their side in this one. The Colorado State Rams are looking shaky as of late, as we’ve seen 4 of their 7 losses coming in their last 9 games. UNLV nearly upset Colorado State on the road a month ago, and now they get them at home, where 8 of their 14 wins this season have come. Colorado State has been hit or miss offensively in recent efforts. I’ll lay the bucket with the Rebels.
