Shane’s Free Pick

It might not be a very popular pick, but Colorado State is going to keep this game close.

Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi is going to have a big game for Colorado State and he’s going to find the end zone in this game. Colorado State is going to score at least 27 points here, and that is going to be enough for them to keep it within a field goal. Back Colorado State against the spread.
