UTEP Still Searching For First Win

The UTEP Miners are having a nightmarish start to their college football season. They lost each of their first three games this year, including a home game to Southern Utah of the FCS, which was easily their best chance to get a win early in the year. UTEP is already 0-1 in Conference USA play this season and they will look for their first win of the year in this non-conference matchup with Colorado State. To get that win, the Miners will need to find a way to generate some offense, as they have scored just 17 total points in their two games against FBS opponents this season.

Colorado State Seeks Bounce Back After Rivalry Game Loss

The Colorado State Rams are 1-2 this year, with their only win coming against an FCS opponent in Northern Colorado. The Rams are coming off of an embarrassing loss to the Colorado Buffaloes in their in-state rivalry game, where the Rams managed just nine points at home against a bad Colorado defense. The Rams will hope that Tory Horton is in better physical condition than he was last week, when he caught just two passes for 24 yards. If not, Colorado State could be in danger of suffering an embarrassing loss to UTEP.

UTEP vs Colorado State Best Bet

This game features two teams that have been playing some dismal football against FBS counterparts. We will go with the UTEP Miners to cover the spread as an underdog here, as Horton's injury makes it tough to believe in the offense of Colorado State. But there are certainly better opportunities for wagering on college football in many other games on the Saturday schedule.
