The Colorado Buffaloes (4-3, 1-3 Pac-12) and UCLA Bruins (5-2, 2-2) meet Saturday at the Rose Bowl. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Colorado vs. UCLA odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Buffaloes have been off since Oct. 13 and that epic meltdown against Stanford. Colorado led 29-0 but ended up frittering away the lead and falling 46-43 in OT, slowing the Coach Prime hype train to a crawl. CU has lost 3 of the past 4 games outright, while going 1-3-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 games overall.
The Bruins faced Stanford last weekend, and handled the Cardinal on the road by a 42-7 score to easily cash as 17-point favorites as the Under (52) cashed. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games overall for the Bruins, while going 4-2 ATS in the past 6 contests.
