Colorado State won six of the previous ten H2H encounters and each of the last three meetings. The Rams won both H2Hs this season; 75-72 at home and 83-73 at Boise State, covering both along the way. Colorado State is simply the best team in the Mountain West at the moment and I would bet on them even against the No. 1 New Mexico, so I believe the Rams will have a bit easier job against Boise State on Saturday. Colorado State has hit the Moneyline in 26 of its last 36 games, while the Rams have covered the Spread in 22 of their previous 36 games. The odds are favorable and I don’t need to bet on the spread. Back Colorado State to win and clinch the conference title.
