Utah vs. Colorado: TV info, betting odds, and expert predictions
The 14th-ranked Utah Utes (8-3, 6-2 Pac-12) head to Folsom Field for their final game of the regular season against the Colorado Buffaloes (1-10, 1-7).
The Utes have won five straight against Colorado and nine of 11 since joining the Pac-12. CU has allowed 43 points a game this season and nearly 500 yards of offense to opponents. In six of the Utes eight wins this season, the margin has been at least three touchdowns.
Does Colorado have the horses to keep up with Utah? The Buffs are averaging just 15 points a game and they have more turnovers this season (22) than touchdowns (19).
Utah quarterback Cameron Rising will look to get back on track after an uncharacteristic three-interception outing against Oregon last weekend. Rising has thrown for 2,395 yards, run for 378 yards, and produced 25 total touchdowns this season.

Bill Connelly’s SP+ is calling for a 49-13 Utah win.
CFN’s Pete Fiutak picked Utah to win 40-13:
Dead last in the nation in scoring defense. Dead last in the nation in sacks. Dead last in the nation against the run. Dead last in the nation in third down defense. Second-to-last in the nation in total defense. It’s been a rough run for Colorado. It’s about to add to that total of 232.5 rushing yards per game allowed as Utah starts running, keeps running, and doesn’t stop.
