Prediction

Both offenses should be able to put up the points in this contest and the winner could be the team that has the ball last.

Ultimately, I think the Buffs defense makes one more play–a strip sack, interception or fumble recovery that will shift the momentum Colorado’s way.

If you’re looking to place a wager on this game, the spread of -7.5 for Colorado is a little scary because I see this as a one possession ball-game.
