(NCAAF) Utes (UTH) vs. Buffaloes (COL),
Point Spread: 13.50 | -105.00 Utes (UTH) (Away)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: 13.50 | -105.00 Utes (UTH) (Away)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Utah - ATS
1) I like Utah to stay within single digits in this game against Colorado on Saturday, November 16th. The line looks like a trap line to take the Buffaloes considering the recent struggles of the Utes and the red hot run of the Buffs and I am not falling for it!
2) This line got steamed when it was lower (single digits) because of the reaction to Colorado being on a 7-0 ATS run while Utah is on an 0-5 SU run plus, before tight cover vs BYU last week, the Utes were on an 0-4 ATS run. Utah will be fired up after last week's frustrating late-game loss to the rival Cougars. The Utes will bring their top effort this week in response and it is going to be tough for the Buffaloes to pull away in this one!
3) The Utes have lost 5 straight games after starting the season 4-0 but the 5 straight losses by an average margin of only 6 points! None of the Utah defeats by more than 13 points! The Buffaloes should have won last week just 34-27 and, prior to that, only 3 of Colorado's first 8 games were wins by more than an 11-point margin. This game is going to be a war because the Utes are fired up and fighting for bowl eligibility (need 2 wins in 3 remaining games). Colorado over-priced!
T.M. Prediction: 24-20 Colorado
Line: +13.5
