Idaho vs Colorado State Prediction
Fort Collins is always a tough place to play, so I understand the respect Colorado State is getting in this spot. However, Colorado State has been shaky defensively dating back to the end of last season and has failed to cover each of its last five games. Idaho didn’t play anybody in its season opener, but it’s done a fine job of controlling the pace and has covered seven of its last nine games. Idaho can score the ball and make teams uncomfortable. This is obviously a step up in competition, but it’s also a great deal of points. I’m going to grab them with Idaho on Friday night.
