I considered the Washington Huskies in the underdog role here, but they’ve been bad this season, and it doesn’t get much better at home, where they win by an average of just 0.2 points. The Colorado Buffaloes have been hit or miss lately, but they’re simply the better team here on both sides, and they win by an average of 10.3 points in the favorite role. I have to lay the bucket with the Buffs.
