Denver vs Colorado State Prediction

Colorado State comes into this game coming off a fortunate overtime win against Tennessee State, but they need to play much better in this game. The Rams have scored 84.5 points per game this season, but they shot the ball very poorly last time out. Denver lost by 23 points to Stanford to open the season, and they allowed 80 points to a non-D-1 team in their last game. Colorado State didn’t play well in their last game against a bad opponent, and I’m not comfortable putting this big number with them, so give me the Pioneers here.
