T.M. Selection: San Diego State.

I like San Diego State to cover the spread against Colorado State in this game on Saturday. San Diego State has won 4 games in a row and 3 of those wins were by 10+ points. Their most recent game was a win over UNLV by 7 points but they were on the road in that game and picked up their 1st road win this year in conference play which is tough to do. Now that San Diego State is on a roll and has their 1st win in conference play, I expect them to continue their streak and get another big conference win here at home. Colorado State has won all 11 games they have played this year and they are the only undefeated team left in their conference. I think San Diego State is going to make it a priority to win this game and be the 1st team to hand Colorado State a loss this year. Whenever a team is going up against another team that hasn't lost a game yet there is always extra motivation to beat that team and be the 1st ones to do so. Colorado State hasn't played in a true road game this year either and I think that is going to be a big factor in this game. Not only will San Diego State be extra motivated to end their undefeated run, but Colorado State has to play their 1st road game here so they aren't used to playing in a hostile environment like that this year yet. The 1st road game of the year is always a tough one for these teams but to play their 1st road game in a conference game, and against a team that has been playing well all year with a 9-3 record, I think that it is going to be too much for Colorado State to handle in this game and I expect them to lose their 1st game of the year here. I like San Diego State to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 77-67 San Diego State.
