Nevada vs Colorado State Prediction

The Nevada Wolf Pack have had issues finishing games, and they’re a below-average team on both sides of the ball. The Colorado State Rams have won 3 straight games, and they’ve covered 5 straight games. Colorado State is 4-1 ATS as a favorite this season and has the playmakers offensively to win a tight game on the road. Nevada just doesn’t do anything well on either side of the ball, and it’s hard to back the Pack confidently. It’s Colorado State or pass for me.
