Portland State vs Colorado Prediction
In this Portland State vs Colorado Prediction, Colorado is coming as -17 home favorites. Colorado has been the better team this season, as they have only one defeat in their ten games played and have been perfect at home. Portland State is also coming into this matchup in excellent form, as they are 5-1 in their last 6 games and 4-1 against the spread in their last 5, so I see no value on either side. Both teams have been playing some lower-scoring games lately, as they are 8-2 to the under in their last 10 games combined, as they both play excellent defense lately. I expect a low-scoring affair between two very good team, so take the under 150.5 points in this one.
