Baylor vs Colorado Betting Pick & Preview – 9/21/2024

The Baylor Bears will play against the Colorado Buffaloes on September 21, 2024, with the Bears as two-point underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Early betting trends show 45% of spread bets on Baylor and 55% on Colorado. The total of 50.5 has 82% of bets on the under and 18% on the over. This matchup promises to be an exciting game with both teams eager to secure a win. Here, we will break down this Baylor vs Colorado matchup and make our pick for this Big 12 game.

Baylor In Search Of First Road Win

The Baylor Bears are 2-1 to start this season, with their last outing being a win over Air Force at home by a score of 31-3. This week, Baylor is back on the road for the second time this season, after losing their first road game of the year to a ranked Utah Utes team. Of course, Colorado is nowhere near being ranked after their rough start to the season. But Baylor will still need to prove that they can win on the road if they want to avoid dropping back down to .500 for the year.

Colorado Looking to Build On Rivalry Game Victory

The Colorado Buffaloes played their best game of the 2024 college football season last week when they blew out the Colorado State Rams on the road. The defense of Colorado showed up for that game, with Travis Hunter helping to lock down banged up Colorado State star receiver Tory Horton. This week, Hunter and the Buffaloes defense will need to be great once again as they look for a second straight win that would move them to 3-1 on the year. But there are concerns about Colorado's ability to win against power conference competition after they were blown out by Nebraska earlier in the season.

Baylor vs Colorado Best Bet

Our best bet for this Baylor vs Colorado matchup is for the Bears to cover the spread as slight underdogs on the road. Colorado did look good last week, but the injury to Tory Horton definitely made it easier for them to stop the Colorado State passing game. Look for the Buffaloes to lose their first game in conference play since joining the Big 12 after last season and for Baylor to get a much-needed road win.
