Without anybody noticing the Colorado State Rams are pounding on the door to the “Tournament” out of the Mountain West Conference. A win at BYU, as tough as that might be, would almost certainly get them in in my opinion so I am sure the players are thinking the same thing and will be focused and ready tonight.
The Rams strength is upfront where forward Andy Ogide might be the best post player in the conference.
Still it is tough to read how good these guys really are as they don’t have any high quality wins and have lost to all the other highly regarded teams in the MWC, though they have come close to winning several times. Their unexpected performance has made them an ATS darling so hopefully you have noticed and made some coin along the way. 
When BYU guard Jimmer Fredette is on sometimes it looks like this team is unstoppable and they are just laying waste to some of their competition. The Cougars are 8th in the country in scoring but as a result some of the spreads are getting so large that all the value is taken right out (see ATS record).
When BYU beat the Rams last month Fredette scored 42 points so stopping him will be critical to the Rams chances but 3 other Cougars also cracked double figures in that game.
Also, lost among the stats is thats is that the Cougars were outrebounded that night and sent the Rams to the line 33 times in the game. If they had made a few more of those freebies the game would have been pretty tight at the end.

Free Rams vs Cougars Pick
BYU is undefeated on their home floor and I don’t see them losing this evening. The question is whether the Rams can keep up the pace to keep the heat on BYU. This one will be a game for about 3/4 of the game but in the end BYU will win comfortably.
Score prediction: BYU 85 – Colorado State 75
