Randy’s Pick

I know the honeymoon is over with the Colorado Buffaloes and nobody is excited to get behind them these days. However, laying chalk with Washington State isn’t the move either. Washington State hasn’t won a game since September 23. Washington State also can’t run the football and is 103rd in total defense and 103rd in scoring defense. Colorado has similar issues, but it’s also shown more throughout the year and has playmakers on both sides of the ball that provide hope. I want the points and the more talented team if getting involved in this spot.
