College Basketball Betting Trends

Colorado

The Buffaloes are 13-37-1 ATS in their last 51 road games. Colorado is 0-6 ATS in its last six games overall. 

Colorado State

The Rams are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. Colorado State is 3-12-1 ATS in its last 16 Friday games.

Prediction:

The Buffaloes have a fairly strong defense but can be inconsistent on the offensive end, while CSU is not particularly great on either end. The Rams have played two top-100 teams thus far this season and have lost by a total of 66 points. I don't like Colorado State's chances to stick around here against a Colorado squad that is going to come in a little salty and desperate to stick in the top 25 after two straight defeats. Give the points here.
