The Colorado State Rams (0-3) hope to get their first win of 2022 when they host the Sacramento State Hornets (2-0) Saturday at 4 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Sacramento State vs. Colorado State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Along with being winless, the Rams have not covered a spread this season, while the Under is 0-3. Coach Jay Norvell came in from Nevada to fix Colorado State. So far, it has been a disaster, but one which we saw coming.
Colorado State will be the first FBS opponent Sacramento State plays since the Hornets lost at Cal 42-30 last September. The fact that Cal was able to score 42 points is a good sign for Colorado State.
The Rams have yet to lose a game by less than double digits this season. This includes a 34-19 home loss to Middle Tennessee State Sept. 10. It was the only game in which CSU scored more than 7 points. The team is not good and I wouldn’t be surprised if this Sacramento State contest turns out to be the Rams’ victory of their 2022 season.

Sacramento State at Colorado State picks and predictions
Prediction
Colorado State 28 Sacramento State 24
Money line
TAKE COLORADO STATE (+145).
It is rare to get a ML on an FBS vs. FCS game in which you can justify taking it. This is one of those games, with as bad as Colorado State is, the +145 ML is worth the risk. If you’d rather take the 3.5 points, it’s understandable.
Against the spread
The suggested option is to divvy up a FULL UNIT between the COLORADO STATE ML (+145) and the CSU SPREAD (+3.5, –115).
Tough to pick a side in this one as it’s going to be close. Plus, it’s hard to trust the Rams, but with them getting more than a field goal at home, I’ll risk it, but only with a small wager.
Over/Under
TAKE UNDER 57.5 (-115) -(115).
Colorado State has only scored 33 points combined in its 3 games. Even going up against a lower-division opponent in Sacramento State, I do not see an offensive output coming in this one.
Neither of these teams are good. When that’s the case, take the Under.
