10* MOUNTAIN-WEST GAME OF MONTH: 100% IN CONFERENCE!
(NCAAF) Rams (CSU) vs. Bulldogs (FRE),
Money Line: -152.00 Bulldogs (FRE) (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* MW GOM on Fresno State MONEYLINE.

I am going to be selective with my College Footbal picks over the final couple weeks of the regular season. I'm gearing up for a big Bowl season, and am really looking forward to it.

That said, there's going to be lots of great "situational" plays to deftly take advantage of from the College Gridiron, and this particular one here on Fresno State is one of them. If you don't like laying chalk, then don't. Play the home side on the spread option, as I also really like the Bulldogs ATS.

However, I feel that the safer call is to lay what I feel is still a reasonable price for the home side to just win this game straight-up.

Fresno Stae is 5-5 after back-to-back close losses, falling 21-20 here at home to Hawaii as a 12-point favorite, then dropping a 36-28 setback at Air Force two weeks ago as a 9.5-point favorite.

The bye week simply could not have come at a better time for Fresno State, which will have a very difficult game at UCLA to end the season. The Bruins are currently 4-6, and if the manage to beat USC this weekend, they'll be seeking their sixth win to punch bowl-eligiblity on their final regular season home game.

And so that clearly puts added incentive onto Frenso State to get the job done here at home as the favorite.

Colorado State is 7-3, and it's coming off five straight SU victories. In all five of those games it ws a favorite.

Now here on the road and with a "cream puff" at home vs. the 3-7 Aggies on Senior Night to close out the regular season, not only does this set up as a natural letdown spot for the visitors, but also a look-ahead.

As primarily a situational capper, this one falls right into my wheel-house so to speak.

The official call is to grab FRESNO STATE on the MONEYLINE option.

Good luck, NP
