Colorado State looks to end on a win
Colorado State is coming off back-to-back losses to Air Force and Wyoming over the last two weeks to fall out of bowl contention. The Rams are 4-7 on the season, 3-4 in the Mountain West, 6-5 against the spread and 7-4 with the under.
Colorado State has been average on both sides of the ball. The Rams are giving up 31.2 points and 380.6 yards per game, while the offense is putting up 28.5 points and 442.7 yards per contest. Patrick O’Brien is leading the offense with 2,514 passing yards and 11 touchdowns while Marvin Kinsey Jr. is leading the ground game with 703 yards and six touchdowns. Warren Jackson is the top receiver with 69 catches for 1,035 yards and seven touchdowns.
Boise on a win streak
The Boise State football team has won four straight since a 28-25 loss at BYU last month. The Broncos are coming off a 56-21 win at Utah State last weekend. Boise State is now 10-1 on the season, 7-0 in the Mountain West, 6-4-1 against the spread and 6-5 with the over.
The Broncos are strong on both sides of the ball, as the defense is giving up just 21.3 points and 347.1 yards per game, and the offense is putting up 37.9 points and 457.5 yards per contest. Hank Bachmeier has led the offense this year with 1,760 passing yards and nine touchdowns, but he has missed recent games with a shoulder injury and is questionable to play this afternoon. Jaylon Henderson has filled in lately and thrown for 567 yards and seven touchdowns this year. George Holani is leading the ground attack with 870 yards and seven touchdowns while John Hightower has 40 catches for 810 yards and seven touchdowns. Curtis Weaver is leading the defense with 44 tackles and 13.5 sacks, but he is also questionable with a foot injury.
College Football Betting Trends
Colorado State
The Rams are 1-9 against the spread in their last 10 Friday games and 2-5 ATS in their last seven against a winning team.
Boise State
The Broncos are 7-1-2 against the spread in their last 10 against a losing team and 5-1 ATS in their last six Friday games.
Prediction:
Boise State has won all eight meetings with Colorado State, going 6-2 against the spread in the eight meetings. The Broncos have had some scares throughout the year, but they have been able to beat up on their opponents in recent weeks. Colorado State has been outmatched on both sides of the ball most of the season and the Boise State defense should be able to keep the Rams from scoring too many points. I look for the Broncos to be able to run the ball all over Colorado State and rack up the points quickly.
