Colorado State may not have started the season the way it wanted to, losing to Texas 52-0, but the Rams bounced back and beat Northern Colorado last week.
Now they hope to join the Group of Five teams who have upset Power Four programs this season during an in-state showdown. The Rams take on Colorado, which started the year with a narrow victory over North Dakota State but is 1-1 overall after losing to Nebraska last week.

Colorado vs. Colorado State Prediction
I predict Colorado State will win and cover the spread at +7. I also project the game will go Under 58.5 total points.
The Buffaloes have a few star players like Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. But aside from them, I don’t think their roster talent overall was worth the preseason buzz the team received. That showed in Colorado’s 28-10 loss at Nebraska a week ago.
Meanwhile, I also don’t think there’s been enough hype around Colorado State as a Mountain West program.
Do I think CSU is a top-10 G5 team? No. But I do think the Rams should be in the G5 Top 25. The Rams have playmakers on offense, and I think their defense shines at home in this clash.
