Air Force
Air Force is 2-8 against the spread in its last 10 against a losing record and 4-1-1 ATS in its last six home games.

Colorado State is 1-5 against the spread in its last six road games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a loss.
Prediction:
Air Force hasn’t been winning by wide margins when it has won and I think it’s a lot to ask of the Falcons to beat the Rams by 14 points. Air Force doesn’t have enough consistency on either side of the ball to trust that much. The Rams are obviously pretty poor on both sides of the ball, but I think they can handle themselves a little better against a straight-forward Air Force offense.
College Football Prediction: Colorado State +14.5
