Colorado Buffaloes fans, this week’s matchup against Utah promises excitement, drama, and betting intrigue. The Buffaloes are coming off a thrilling win over Texas Tech, while Utah seeks to bounce back after a narrow loss to BYU. Here’s a breakdown of the odds and how they stack up for Week 12.
1. Betting Line Insight
Colorado enters as a 9.5-point favorite, a solid edge against a Utah team struggling to find offensive rhythm. With the Buffaloes on a hot streak, winning five of their last six against the spread (ATS), fans see this as Colorado’s chance to shine. FanDuel currently lists Colorado at -9.5, indicating strong confidence in their ability to maintain their form at home.
2. Offensive Firepower
The Buffaloes’ Shedeur Sanders has been electric, averaging over 300 passing yards per game with a 72.9% completion rate. The Utah defense, however, allows just 175 passing yards per game, setting up a battle between Sanders’ arm and Utah’s secondary.
3. Defensive Matchup
Colorado’s defense, ranked in the top 50 nationally, faces an Utah offense that has stumbled, scoring under 23 points per game. The Utes’ issues at quarterback only heighten the pressure against a Buffaloes defense growing in confidence.
For fans and bettors, the odds signal an edge for Colorado, but the real question is: can the Buffaloes end their Utah losing streak?
