San Jose State vs Colorado State Prediction, Game Preview, and Betting Lines

Colorado State has played a lot of football, but it has yet to play a Mountain West game.

It misses UNLV and Boise State, so there’s a real shot of ripping through a manageable conference slate to be deep in the hunt for the conference title.

But first it has to get through a plucky San Jose State team.

San Jose State beat Air Force and Nevada for a nice Mountain West start, but it still has Boise State and and UNLV to deal with.

It’s been a strong start under new head coach Ken Niumatalolo, but getting a win here would be a big deal to get in range of a bowl bid.

San Jose State vs Colorado State: Who Will Win

Colorado State was supposed to be one of the Mountain West’s top passing teams, and it still might be, but it’s been a struggle so far to move the chains.

San Jose State has the passing attack to keep pressing, and in this, Colorado State will keep up the pace. The difference, though, will be a decent Spartan defense that’s great at taking the ball away.

It comes up with plenty of tackles for loss, and it’ll come up with three takeaways to pull this off in a good road battle.
