Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the UCLA vs. Colorado odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
UCLA was almost upset as a 16-point favorite in a 32-31 win at home against the South Alabama Jaguars last Saturday. The Bruins blew up South Alabama’s fake FG attempt at the UCLA 22 and the ensuing drive set up K Nicholas Barr-Mira for a 24-yard FG as time expired.
Colorado’s offense only managed 91 yards in the first 3 quarters of a 49-7 loss at the Minnesota Golden Gophers last Saturday. The Buffaloes’ 136 yards in the 4th quarter came after Minnesota sat its starters. Colorado has lost each of its first 3 games by 25+ points for the 1st time in the program’s history.
