Ole Miss vs Colorado State Prediction

I’m on the under here. I’ve been more impressed with what these two teams have brought to the table defensively, and I think they’re going to give each other all they can handle in this spot. I’m expecting a first-to-70-win kind of Game, so give me the under here.
