The Colorado Buffaloes are off to a strong start, but the jury is still out on how good this team truly is, given they haven’t exactly played anybody. The UCLA Bruins just waxed UNLV its last time out, and that offensive potential has the ability to get scary. Colorado has also been horrible against the number on the road over the years. I’ll lay the chalk with UCLA at home.
