Loyola Chicago vs Colorado State Prediction


Colorado State is the more talented team, and Fort Collins is never an easy place to play. The Rams should be favored. However, Loyola Chicago is usually never a pushover and is probably better than what it’s shown up to this point. Loyola-Chicago is also coming off a loss to Air Force as a double-digit favorite. I’d expect Loyola Chicago to be motivated to rebound from its last effort.

Colorado State is 0-3 ATS on the season and has failed to cover each of its last seven games. Colorado State hasn’t cashed a ticket since March 4. Loyola Chicago has covered 8 of its last 10 games. The Ramblers should be eager to compete here and get a nasty taste out of their mouth. Give me the points with Loyola Chicago.
