The Colorado State Rams (3-7) will host the Utah State Aggies (9-1) to Sonny Lubrick Field at Canvas Stadium on Saturday, November 17th, 2018 for a Mountain West Conference clash. Kick-off time is scheduled for 2:00 PM ET and will be televised on CBS Sports Network. Despite Utah State being a dominant force in the Mountain West at the moment, the Rams have had the upper hand in this series as they have won three of the last four meetings between both sides. Last year, the Rams defeated the Aggies 27-14 on USU’s turf to cover as a nine-point choice.

Utah State Aggies at Colorado State Rams Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
<b>Utah State Aggies </b>
</p>
<p>
The Aggies continue to win at will as they have extended their winning streak to nine games. Their sole defeat came as a 23.5-point underdog against the Michigan State Spartans to kick off the 2017-18 season. The Aggies were not far from pulling an upset outright as lost by a score of just 38-31. Despite the acclaim that should be rightfully theirs, the College Football Playoff Committee is not impressed as they remain unranked in their poll despite being as high as No. 13 in the Amway Coaches Poll. Last week, Utah State covered a 31-point spread when they hosted San Jose State 62-24.

<p>
<b>Colorado State Rams </b>
</p>
<p>
Though the Rams were expected to take a step back this season, it can be inferred here that they made a leap backward as they will not even be eligible for a bowl game this season. Presently, Colorado State is riding a three-game skid. Most recently, Colorado State was smoked at the hands of the Nevada Wolf Pack in Reno by a score of 49-10 where the Rams failed to also cover in their third consecutive outing.

<h2>
Reasons To Back Colorado State<br />
</h2>
<p>
The stock is so low in this Colorado State outfit that books will like to inflate the number next to their name just to get some action on the Rams. In this scenario, that propensity is that much greater as the Aggies have been a cash cow against the spread as they are a scintillating 9-1 ATS to match their record. With every win and cover, the market is more prone to inflict a premium on USU takers. Situationally, this scenario seems ideal for that to happen with Colorado State being positioned to entice action.

<h2>
Reasons To Avoid Utah State<br />
</h2>
<p>
There is also the element of look-ahead for Utah State here as they too will be making a trip to the fabled Smurf Turf next week in what will definitively determine whether they or Boise State will be going to the Mountain West Conference Championship. Given the high stakes of said contest and Fresno State recently falling there as a ranked favorite, Utah State could be very much guilty of fixating on this contest and looking past Colorado State who will find a moral victory in taking the fight to the MWC’s current top dog.

Utah State at Colorado State Prediction 11/17/2018

Utah State has a good enough offense to cover this number. After all, they are the best in the country in scoring 51.3 points per game. However, the Aggies are not concerned about padding stats or how much they win by as they have bigger fish to fry and will undoubtedly treat this game as a dress rehearsal for next week. Utah State will likely get up by a significant enough margin and then pull their starters early to rest them for their showdown with Boise State. This leaves the back door open for Colorado State to come through and cover by way of a few junk-time scores as there are way too many points on the table here.
