Denver Pioneers vs. Montana State Bobcats Prediction

I’m on the Pioneers and the points here. Denver may be 0-2, but they’ve covered in both games and Denver’s a team I’m very high on this season in the Summit League. Montana State’s solid, but this for me is just a few too many points with a Denver team that can keep themselves in this game offensively. Give me the Pioneers and the points.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Denver +7.5
