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.

Colorado State at Boise State odds, picks and predictions

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

The Colorado State Rams (2-5, 2-1 Mountain West) and Boise State Broncos (5-2, 4-0) will wrangle in a Mountain West battle Saturday. Kickoff at Albertson’s Stadium is slated for 7 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Colorado State vs. Boise State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Colorado State has averaged just 12.9 points per game this season (130th in  FBS), but the Rams have managed 2 wins in their last 3 games. CSU now heads out on the road for just the 2nd time since Sept. 17. Dating back to last fall, the Rams are 1-5 straight-up (SU) and against the spread (ATS) in their last 6 games away from home.

The Broncos have won 3 consecutive games. Two were walks in the park that saw Boise State pile up monster yardage margins. Last week’s win — at Air Force — ended up a 19-14 cliffhanger after BSU had jumped out to a 16-0 lead. The Broncos were undone by 9 penalties, but they did hold a strong Falcon run game to just 3.5 yards per carry.

Colorado State at Boise State picks and predictions

Prediction

Boise State 31, Colorado State 7

Moneyline

PASS. Lots of places for true odds to hide in this wide canyon between prices.

Against the spread

We have an offense that analytically may be worse than what shows on the surface with the points-per-game average ranking 130th in the nation against a suffocating Boise defense that has been good against the run and the pass.

When these programs met last Oct. 30, the Broncos were favored by 1.5. They won 28-19, but Colorado State was up 13-0 early.

BSU has averaged 38.3 rushing attempts per game and 26.6 passing attempts. The Broncos have been content to get to leads and stifle opponents to the finish line, eating clock with the running game.

With that style of play, COLORADO STATE +27.5 (-120) is worth a partial-unit play. This is some action based on the numbers and trends of the game more so that an analysis that the Rams are underrated.

Over/Under

Colorado State has played in 7 straight Unders. The Under is 6-1 in Boise State’s last 7 games against teams with a losing record.

TAKE THE UNDER 42.5 (-107).

First look: Colorado State at Boise State odds and lines

Looking at Saurday’s Colorado State at Boise State college football odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Colorado State Rams (2-5, 2-1 Mountain West) visit the blue turf of Albertsons Stadium to battle the Boise State Broncos (5-2, 4-0) Saturday at 7 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we look at Colorado State vs. Boise State odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our college football picks and predictions.

Boise State enters on a 3-game win streak since starting QB Hank Bachmeier left the program to transfer — following a 27-10 loss at UTEP Sept. 23. With new QB Taylen Green being more of a dual threat, the Broncos have been able to expand the offense, helping the defense as a result.

Colorado State claimed its 2nd win of the season Saturday behind a 17-13 victory vs. Hawaii, though the Rams failed to cover the spread as 6-point home favorites. They’re now 2-1 in their last 3 games — they upset Nevada 17-14 as 14-point road underdogs Oct. 7 — after starting the season 0-4. Take note: The wins came against the 2 bottom teams in the Mountain West. As CSU’s heir schedule gets harder, the wins will be fleeting.

Colorado State vs. Boise State head-to-head

The Broncos have owned this rivalry in recent seasons.

Since 2017, Boise State is 5-0 only scoring under 30 points 1 time while scoring 50 or more 3 times.

New coach Jay Norvell is hoping to bring respect back to the Colorado State program. To do so, a victory in this rivalry against a perennial powerhouse in the conference would go a long way.

Will it happen this season? Unlikely. But anything is possible in college football.
