Colorado, For Better or Worse, is College Football’s Most Bet Team

Entering their second season in the Big 12, Colorado is coming off a year that began with promise but ended with disappointment, finishing outside of Arlington. Head coach Deion Sanders has retooled the roster through the transfer portal, adding experience in the trenches and playmakers on both sides of the ball. His son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, departed for the NFL after setting multiple school passing records, which leaves some uncertainty under center.

The 5.5 total presents a clear split among bettors. Those taking the over point to the Buffs’ improved roster, another year of system familiarity, and an offense that showed flashes of explosiveness last season. Those betting the under cite Colorado’s schedule, which includes Big 12 title contenders Arizona State, Kansas State, BYU, and Iowa State, along with tough road trips.

Public betting interest in Colorado is nothing new under Sanders’ leadership, but leading the nation in win total action speaks to the program’s profile and polarizing outlook. Whether bettors cash in on the over or the under, Colorado will be one of the most closely watched teams in the country this fall.
