Colorado Buffaloes vs Washington State Cougars prediction
The Washington State Cougars have probably been the better team overall in terms of sharpness. The Colorado Buffaloes had that patch in the season where it looked like things were starting to slip away. However, I’d argue Colorado is the more talented team with the higher ceiling, and the Buffaloes did beat Washington State back in December. Washington State beat Colorado in January. Either way, assuming we can get points with the Buffs, I’ll grab them. I like Colorado regardless of what the line is.
