Colorado State Rams Betting Preview

The Colorado State Rams (21-9, 17-13 ATS) are currently playing their best basketball of the season after winning the last six games, their longest winning streak of the campaign. Colorado State has to be pleased with its defense during this span; the Rams allowed no more than 66 points in five of those six victories. The last two wins came to Utah State and San Jose State. Colorado State is 2nd in the Mountain West Standings with a win ahead of Utah State and Boise State, and a game behind New Mexico. This one will be a battle for the No. 2 seed.

Colorado State averages 75.2 PPG (148th) and allows 67.4 PPG (53rd). The Rams are 206th in rebounds (35.3) and 21st in assists (17.1). Nique Clifford leads the team in several key categories with 17.8 PPG, 9.9 RPG, 4.4 APG, and 1.2 SPG. Jalen Lake follows him with 11.5 PPG, 2.9 RPG, and 2.0 APG, while Kyan Evans has 10.2 PPG, 3.0 RPG, and 3.2 APG.

Boise State Broncos Betting Preview

The Boise State Broncos (22-8, 16-13 ATS) are also playing in excellent form, having won nine of the previous ten games. The Broncos are on a five-game winning run after defeating New Mexico, Nevada, Utah State, Fresno State, and Air Force. Boise State’s four-game winning streak before was interrupted by San Diego State. In that loss, Boise State scored a season-low 47 points. The Broncos are 4th in the Mountain West Standings with a win ahead of San Diego State and two games behind the No. 1 seed New Mexico.

Boise State is averaging 76.1 PPG (121st) and is allowing 65.8 PPG (32nd). The Broncos are getting 36.6 RPG (133rd) and dish out 14.7 APG (124th). Tyson Degenhart is the team’s top scorer with 17.9 PPG and a team-high 6.0 RPG. Andrew Meadow adds 12.3 PPG and 4.3 RPG, while Alvaro Cardenas contributes 11.8 PPG, 3.3 RPG, a team-high 6.8 APG, and a team-high 1.5 SPG.

Colorado State vs Boise State Prediction

These conference rivals have traded wins over the past ten meetings as each recorded five. Colorado State won the last two, including the first clash of this season when it was 75-72 in Fort Collins. I expect a similar scenario in this one, but this time around, Boise State seems to be closer to the victory. However, a tight duel is upon us; the No. 2 seed is at stake and I don’t think the Rams will surrender it without a fight. Don’t be surprised if we get overtime, but definitely, expect a lot of free throws late in the tilt and some free points. Colorado State has hit the Team Total Over in 23 of its last 36 games. I am backing both teams to score around 70 points, and that’s why I am going with Over.
