Utah vs Colorado Prediction 

Colorado comes into this matchup looking for their first conference win of the season, but they will be on the road for this game. The Buffaloes have lost their first ten games in the Big 12 this year and they have scored 63 points or fewer in two of their last three. Colorado is shooting 45.7% from the field, but they have allowed at least 75 points in seven of their last ten games. Utah has lost three of their last four games and they have covered this number just twice in their last 11 games. The Utes have allowed 76+ points in two of their last three games and I don’t trust them to cover this number, even against a bad Colorado team. Take the Buffaloes here.
