Fresno State at Colorado State 1/26/19 - CBB Picks & Predictions

The Fresno State Bulldogs (14 - 4, 5 - 1 CONF) are on the road this week as they take on the hometown Colorado State Rams (7 - 12, 2 - 4 CONF). Colorado State will be hosting this game at the Moby Arena in Fort Collins, CO. Colorado State takes the court after losing two-straight games and Rams fans will be eager to score a home win. Fresno State comes into this game riding high and the Bulldogs will be leaned on as the heavy favorites.

Colorado State takes the floor with a team that can score with the best of them. Colorado State is scoring 75 PPG on offense this season while shooting 47% from the floor as a team. Leading the way for CSU is Nico Carvacho (16 PPG, 12 RPG) and he'll be our player to highlight in this game. Carvacho is coming off of an 11 point, 14 board game against #7 Nevada. Colorado State is surrendering 78 PPG to opposing teams on defense. The Fresno State Bulldogs are going to be favored thanks to their solid defense and a capable offense. Fresno State is scoring 77 PPG on offense this season while shooting 46% from the floor as a team. The Bulldogs are surrendering 66 PPG to opposing teams on defense. Leading the way is senior guard Braxton Huggins (19 PPG, 4 RPG) and he'll be primed for a huge outing. Braxton is coming off of a 20/8/5 outing against SDSU.

Think Fresno State is clearly the better team but a little worried that the Bulldogs have big letdown - so play the much safer total on Saturday. Lack of offense for Rams keeps this way under the total. Final Score Prediction, Fresno State Bulldogs win but the under is much safer play 75-65.
