The Colorado Buffaloes (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) and Arizona Wildcats (3-3, 1-2) tangle in a Saturday Big 12 battle in Tucson. The opening kickoff at Arizona Stadium will be at 4 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Colorado vs. Arizona odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.
Colorado had a 3-game win streak snapped in a Saturday home loss to then-No. 19, now-No. 17 Kansas State 31-28. The Buffaloes, who covered by the hook as 3.5-point underdogs, battled back from a 21-7 deficit midway in the 3rd quarter to grab a 28-24 lead with 3:12 to go. But the Colorado defense was hit for an explosive, 50-yard TD by K-State with 2:14 remaining for the final score.
Arizona lost at then-No. 15, now-No. 13 BYU 41-19 Saturday as 2.5-point underdog. It was the Wildcats’ 2nd consecutive loss and their 3rd in the last 4 games. The Wildcats were partly undone by 4 turnovers vs. the ranked Cougars — 3 interceptions and a fumble. UA has 12 giveaways this season.
