Continue reading to get our best bet for Utah vs Colorado, a game Colorado will look to win to stay in position to make the Big 12 title game.

Utah Desperately Seeking Another Victory

After a 4-0 start to this season, the Utah Utes have completely fallen apart during Big 12 play. The Utes have dropped five games in a row, all to conference opponents, going from an elite team to a below average squad almost overnight. Quarterback Cam Rising’s absence due to injury has derailed their offense, which does not bode well for Utah against a Colorado team that has proven itself capable of putting up points in bunches against almost any opponent.

Colorado Suddenly a Big 12 Title Contender

While Utah has struggled of late, Colorado is closing in on a spot in the Big 12 title game. The Buffaloes are 7-2 overall and 5-1 in the Big 12, winning three straight games coming into this contest from Boulder. Colorado has scored 34 points or more in three straight games, with the duo of Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders continuing to carry this team to a better-than-expected campaign in their first year back in the Big 12.

Utah vs Colorado Prediction

Instead of laying the points with the home favorite in this Utah vs Colorado matchup, we are going to take the over. Colorado’s offense should be able to bend the Utah defense to its will eventually in this game, with Utah’s lackluster offense putting their defense in impossible positions most weeks. But we expect Utah to do a little scoring of their own to help us get to the total while putting the point spread outcome in doubt.
