From the booth
The model favored CSU to win, and the call landed.
Colorado State's looking like a heavy favorite here at 94 percent to win, and the numbers tell you exactly why. The Rams have got that 20 and a half point spread working in their favor, the betting market's backing them, and they've got a solid Elo edge with some solid defense over their last five games. Southern Utah's gonna need to play mistake-free football just to stay in this one at six percent, but the chalk is Colorado State all the way on Saturday.
