An obvious massive letdown spot for the Rams, who leave the state for the first time, off their double-overtime war against rival Colorado, and it's homecoming at MT. CSU's defense has allowed 93 points in two games and that unit will be without star end Mohamed Kamara for the first half due to his late ejection for targeting against Colorado. The Rams lost 34-19 at home to the Blue Raiders in 2022.

Colorado State played their hearts out as a 23.5-point underdog against #1 rival Colorado and it came down to overtime. Same on CSU HC for not going for two in the first overtime. The Rams do have home revenge however the demoralizing loss to the Buffs will be hard to overcome. MTS is well coached by Rick Stockstill, a team that has won 15 games the past two years. My model has MTS by -5.5 with revenge for the Rams. Normally a sandwich game is worth five points but this one is different with the Rams tough loss to their rival. MTS by 11.
