We know what the Arizona Wildcats are capable of when they’re clicking, as they win in the favorite role by an average of 18.2 points. However, the Colorado Buffaloes are playing some of their best ball of the season right now, and they absolutely dominated Arizona a couple of weeks ago. Colorado has a good defense that allows it to hang around in every game, and the Buffs only lose in the underdog role by an average of 4.5 points. This line is a bit disrespectful. Give me the points.
