The Colorado State Rams (2-5, 2-1 Mountain West) and Boise State Broncos (5-2, 4-0) will wrangle in a Mountain West battle Saturday. Kickoff at Albertson’s Stadium is slated for 7 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Colorado State vs. Boise State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Colorado State has averaged just 12.9 points per game this season (130th in' FBS), but the Rams have managed 2 wins in their last 3 games. CSU now heads out on the road for just the 2nd time since Sept. 17. Dating back to last fall, the Rams are 1-5 straight-up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in their last 6 games away from home.
The Broncos have won 3 consecutive games. Two were walks in the park that saw Boise State pile up monster yardage margins. Last week’s win — at Air Force — ended up a 19-14 cliffhanger after BSU had jumped out to a 16-0 lead. The Broncos were undone by 9 penalties, but they did hold a strong Falcon run game to just 3.5 yards per carry.
