The line, and the room
The model and the market don’t fully agree on Colorado State’s chances here.
Home −19.5 · O/U 57.5
Conditions
76°F · 9 mph wind · Rain
Colorado State is worth +4.0 points (±3.7) more at home than on the road since 2018 — middle of FBS, 46th percentile.
42% at home, 22% on the road against FBS opponents (17–23 home, 9–32 away).
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge (why); the books use about 3. Against the closing line this stadium reads -0.5 at home vs. away over 71 games — inside the ±6.7 noise, so the flat number is the honest one here.
5,014 ft of altitude — real, and smaller than the folklore: high venues run a point or two better against the number, noisily. The visitors travel about 472 miles to get here.
