Colorado State Rams vs. Fresno State Bulldogs Prediction

I’m on Colorado State here. Normally, Fresno State has a decent home court edge at the Save Mart Center, but I can’t get there with the Bulldogs as I just don’t trust themselves offensively to stay in this game. The Rams are the better team across the board and should have no problems pulling away for the win and cover here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Colorado State -4.5
