All season the strength of this team has been with the defense and overall this season they are giving up only 59.6 points per game which is sixth best in all of college basketball. On the season, Utah State is averaging 75.8 points per game while shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from behind the three point line. 

Colorado State is 1-5 against the spread in their last six games following a straight-up loss. Utah State is 5-0 against the spread in their last five home games. The over is 5-2 in the Rams last seven games following a straight-up loss. The under is 5-1 in Utah State’s last six games overall. 

Utah State had no issue in their first game against Colorado State and they are going to have no issue getting the job done. Look for Utah State to run up the score, Colorado State will have no answer, and that will lead to Utah State winning this game and covering the spread.
