Colorado vs. Georgia Tech early football picks: What the oddsmakers say

Originally posted on CFB-HQ on SI | By James Parks | Last updated Aug 25, 2025 4:30 PM ET

Colorado and Georgia Tech square off on Saturday in this Week 1 college football game. Let’s take a look at the early prediction for the matchup from the oddsmakers.

What does Coach Prime have in store heading into Year 3 at Colorado? His two most important players, quarterback Shedeur Sanders and two-way star Travis Hunter, are both gone, leaving Deion Sanders in prove-it mode to see if he can build again.

Georgia Tech nearly knocked off rival Georgia in an eight-overtime marathon last season and placed top 35 nationally in rushing output, returning quarterback Haynes King, among other notable contributors on that side of the ball.

Where is the money going between the Buffaloes and the Yellow Jackets?

How we’re betting the game

College Football HQ early game prediction: Colorado +4.5

Why? Georgia Tech has the pieces to bother the Buffaloes’ secondary and its own pass defense should credibly challenge Colorado’s vertical game, now led by veteran quarterback Kaidon Salter, and the Yellow Jackets should have the protection to keep this offense on schedule. Tech wins by a field goal, but Colorado covers.
