Prediction Summary

Washington State is the better side in this game because its defense has been far more reliable and Colorado State has struggled to stop anyone. The Rams can move the ball enough to avoid a blowout script, but their defensive numbers are too poor to back with confidence against a team that owns the better overall efficiency profile. The projected finish is Washington State 37, Colorado State 24, which supports the Cougars laying the points and leans below the game total.
