The Air Force Falcons (6-3, 3-2 Mountain West) visit the Colorado State Rams (3-6, 2-3) Saturday at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Air Force vs. Colorado State odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.
The Falcons were dropped 21-14 in overtime by Army last Saturday as they lost for the second straight outing. All three of Air Force's losses have been one-score games. The Under is 4-0 in the past four, and 7-2 in nine games overall.
The Rams have lost and failed to cover each of their last three outings, and a power outage on offense is to blame as they've averaged just 20.0 PPG in the three-game span. The Rams have hit the Under in six of their last eight games overall.

Air Force at Colorado State odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Air Force 25, Colorado State 19
Money line
AIR FORCE (-140) is a good play straight up if you don't want to worry about the point spread. The No. 1 rushing team in the nation (302.6 yards per game) is looking for the bounce back after a disappointing loss to Army.
The Falcons have won four straight, and 12 of the last 14, in this series, including their last two trips to Colorado State.
Against the spread
The play is AIR FORCE -2.5 (-115), which is just a little cheaper than playing the money line. The Falcons won 38-21 in the most recent meeting in Fort Collins Nov. 16, 2019, and Air Force has won each of its last two appearances at Canvas Stadium by 17 points.
Over/Under
The UNDER 44.5 (-105) is the play here. The Under has cashed in six of the last seven road outings for the Falcons while going an impressive 15-3 in their last 18 as favorites. Air Force runs the triple option, and that runs the clock, which Under bettors enjoy.
Colorado State has hit the Under in six of the past eight games overall while hitting the Under in 12 of the past 17 at home.
