It wasn’t just the last game though, NDSU on the season is averaging 82.6 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Denver’s defense is giving up 81.2 points per game and this game is going to get out of control early. NDSU is going to end up cruising here to victory. Back NDSU against the spread here. Denver has won the last two games against NDSU, but this is a much different Bison team this year. This is one of my favorite mid-major games of the entire day.
