The Mountain West Conference continues to be one of the most exciting and electric in the college basketball world.

The excitement continues today when Colorado State takes on Boise State in pre-Super Bowl action. The Broncos can take sole possession of first place with a win over the Rams, but Colorado State can pull within a half of a game with a victory of their own.

Let's take a look at the odds via WynnBET for this afternoon's matchup.

Colorado State vs. Boise State Prediction and Pick

Boise State's stretch of dominance in the Mountain West came to a close against Wyoming a couple of weeks ago, and I think the Broncos are going to suffer a second conference loss today. Colorado State is the far superior shooting team in this game, which could prove to be the difference tonight.

The Rams rank eighth in the country in effective field goal percentage, while the Broncos rank 214th. Boise State's defense is what got them to this point, ranking ninth in defensive efficiency, but its fallen off in this category over its last three games, recording an average rating of 0.991.

It's going to be hard for Boise State's defense to get back on track in this game, as Colorado State ranks 13th in the country in turnovers per possession, coughing it just 14.7% of the time.

I'm going to bypass the spread, and take a shot at Colorado State on the moneyline:

Pick: Colorado State +115
