Denver vs Colorado State Prediction

Colorado State is coming off a strong season and has clearly picked up where it left off, but it’s fair to say it hasn’t been tested yet. Denver hasn’t shown much fight defensively which is a concern in this spot, but it can score the ball. Denver has a strong road win over Montana State and hung much closer than expected with Washington. After those games, Denver shouldn’t be intimated in this matchup. This has a chance to be a fun high scoring game where Denver does just enough to hang around. Give me the points.
