Utah State's best running back is hurt and most likely won't play. Their top tackler is suspended for the first half. Yes, Colorado State's defense is terrible, but Utah State's offense is one of the most inept in NCAA Division 1. They would struggle to put up 24 points on 11 orange cones. Colorado State does have some fast skill players on offense, and their quarterback, while not great, has some talent. I think Colorado St. is undervalued in this spot, and I think getting 6 at home from a pretty gross Utah St. team is a good play. Getting whipped on TV last week by Wyoming at their home field has probably added a couple points to this line. We'll take them and see how it plays out.
