Weber State at Colorado State picks and predictions
Prediction
Colorado State 75, Weber State 64
Moneyline
Colorado State (-410) is the lean on what is a fair tag. However, the current price doesn’t really represent a value tag, and it takes a lofty bankroll to realize decent gains from a leverage figure like -400. PASS.
Against the spread
The Wildcats are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight-up win.
A CSU five that ranked 39th in the nation in 3-point shooting at home last season (38.1%) is off to a good start (44.1% from distance) this season. Look for Weber State to yield a lot of solid looks from beyond the arc, and for the Rams to work themselves to a 3-possession lead by halftime or shortly thereafter.
The Wildcats figure as too loose with the ball and not strong enough on the glass to muster enough of a sustained comeback.
TAKE THE RAMS -8.5 (-112).
Over/Under
This total will not be hit on the nose, but there is not enough leverage on either side of this fast (WSU)-vs.-slow (CSU) match-up to warrant any action. AVOID.
