Colorado State at Northern Colorado

At first glance one would look at this game and see Colorado State taking points from the no-name Bears, but there is a reason. The Bears were heartbreak hotel a year ago losing nine games by five points or less, in spite of that the Bears still managed to go 8-8 in the conference. The Bears are off to a 6-0 start and have a solid backcourt and supporting cast, with depth to give them the edge here. Colorado State is expected to battle with Air Force for the bottom rung of the standings in the Mountain West, and that may be bad news for the Rams here. The Bears played Air Force and destroyed them on the road by a 70-46 count! That doesn't bode well for the Rams who have to travel for this one. I'll go with the under-the-radar Northern Colorado Bears here.
