Boise State at Colorado State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Boise State at Colorado State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Boise State Broncos (24-6, 15-2 MWC) and Colorado State Rams (23-4, 13-4) lock horns and match wits in a Saturday night tilt in Fort Collins, Colo. The contest at Moby Arena is slated to tip off at 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Boise State vs. Colorado State odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Saturday’s game marks the regular-season finale for both teams. Boise State has already clinched the regular-season Mountain West title. BSU did lose to these Rams Feb. 13, but it has responded with five straight wins since. The Broncos play a slow-tempo, defense-first brand of basketball. They have held opponents to just 63.2 points per game over the win streak.

The Rams are a very good shooting team overall but a squad that has fired a mere 39.2% mark from the floor over its last three games. Colorado State defeats teams with an aerial assault. Albeit with a retreating accuracy mark of late, CSU leads the MWC in 3-point shooting at 36.6%.

Boise State at Colorado State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado State 70, Boise State 68

Money line

Colorado State does not display strong home-court numbers, and Boise has posted excellent numbers on the road. CSU has not played since last Saturday. On a couple occasions this season, the Rams have come out of similar-or-longer layoffs and had really shaky first-half performances.

The Broncos get checkmarks in the defense, rebounding and free-throw categories, and in this revenge spot are a solid play at this tag.

BACK BOISE STATE (+145). The Rams may well pull this one out if the Broncos take their foot off the gas. But there is enough doubt in CSU as to make Boise worth a play at this level of plus money.

Against the spread

The Broncos are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog.

BACK THE BRONCOS +3.5 (-108).

Over/Under

Buying into a Boise-led first half makes for some 3-ball frequency in CSU potentially playing from behind late. Add in BSU’s solid ability to get to the foul line, and there is a small-to-moderate lean on the OVER 132.5 (-115).

Boise State at Colorado State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Boise State at Colorado State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Boise State Broncos (3-4, 1-2 MWC) and Colorado State Rams (3-4, 2-1) lock horns Saturday. Kickoff from Canvas Field in Fort Collins, Colo., is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Boise State vs. Colorado State odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Boise State is coming off a bye week that followed a 24-17 home loss to Air Force. BSU is 2-1 on the road this season with its only setback being a hard-fought 36-31 loss at Central Florida Sept. 2.

The Rams are coming off a 26-24 loss to the Utah State Aggies, a team Boise beat by 24 points. Colorado State outgained the Aggies 472 to 344 in total yards but USU parlayed four field goals into the victory. The loss snapped a two-game win streak for the Rams who are third in the Mountain West with 295.3 total yards allowed per game.

Boise State at Colorado State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado State 28, Boise State 20

Money line

Colorado State was undone by turnovers and penalties in early-season non-covers at home against South Dakota State and Vanderbilt. Look for the Rams’ defense to be a difference-maker in this one.

BACK COLORADO STATE (+105).

Against the spread

The Broncos are 1-5 ATS in their last six conference games.

Last year’s BSU 52-21 blowout of the Rams Nov. 12 included a couple of garbage-time Broncos scores, multiple short-field scores, and a statistical profile not at all matching the digits on the scoreboard.

BACK THE RAMS +2.5 (-115) in this one.

Over/Under

A bit of a breeze in the forecast and enough respect for the CSU defense say “Under” in this one, but there are plenty of crisscrossing signals in luck factors and analytics. Look for better margins elsewhere. AVOID.
