Colorado vs UCF Prediction
The Colorado Buffaloes I guess are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but I’m not laying chalk with a team that hasn’t won a game since December 21. UCF hasn’t been lightning the world on fire in its own right, but it has won a couple of games here and there, and that includes an upset road win over Arizona State. Colorado is also not only losing games, but is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games. If Colorado is going to win a game the rest of the season, it would probably be this one. Still, if forced to pick, I’m rolling with UCF due to Colorado not winning a game in two months.
