Colorado State at Boise State picks and predictions
Prediction
Boise State 72, Colorado State 58
Moneyline
AVOID.
The Broncos should win this game, but the moneyline here has far too much risk.

Against the spread
BET BOISE STATE -7.5 (-115).
The Broncos are the much better team in this matchup, and their advantage in defense and rebounding should make this a very easy game for them. There is blowout potential with this game as these conference rivals are on very different ends of the spectrum.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 136.5 (-110).
This bet is very risky as the trends for both teams are exactly the opposite. The trends for Boise State lean heavily towards the Under, but the trends for Colorado State significantly favor the Over. I would lean Under because the Under is undefeated in the Broncos’ last 5 games, and they are more consistently hitting the Under than Colorado State is hitting the Over.
