Colorado State vs Utah State Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with very good records to start the season, but only one will start conference play with a win here. Colorado State is shooting 54% from the field and they have scored at least 83 points in three of their last four. Utah State is shooting 51% from the field and they have scored at least 79 points in four of their last five. Both offenses are very high scoring, but I think Utah State is the slightly better defensive team, so give me the Aggies at home.
