Utah State Hoping Defensive Surge Continues

The Utah State Aggies have won two straight games heading into the final game of their season on Friday afternoon. They have beaten Hawaii and San Diego State in consecutive games, holding those two opponents to 15 points per game. Here, their defense will need to stand tall once again to get their fifth win of the year while denying Colorado State a trip to the Mountain West Conference championship game the following weekend.

Colorado State In Must-Win Game At Home

Last week, Colorado State suffered a devastating loss on the road to the Fresno State Bulldogs. That was the Rams’ first conference loss of the season and changed the scenario for Colorado State as they look to make the MWC title game. Instead of controlling their own destiny, Colorado State likely needs a win and a loss from UNLV to leapfrog the Rebels and face Boise State in two weeks. But Colorado State can’t afford to think about any team but themselves this week, as their offense needs to be sharp against a Utah State team that is playing very well on defense.

Utah State vs Colorado State Prediction

Our best bet for Utah State vs Colorado State is for Colorado State to cover the spread on their home field. The Rams need to win on Friday just to have a chance at seeing the MWC championship game. They should get that win against a Utah State team whose defense has looked great, but it has looked great against some of the lesser teams in the Mountain West.
