UNLV Rebels vs. Colorado State Rams Prediction
I’m on UNLV here. I think this is just a mismatch across the board and I just don’t know if Colorado State can keep themselves in this game offensively as we’ve seen UNLV score 31+ in all of their games this season. UNLV needs to win out to make the Mountain West title game and I don’t envision Colorado State competing here. Give me UNLV.
