Colorado vs. Utah picks

The Colorado Buffaloes have been a great passing offense throughout the season, as they are 12th in the sport with 301.0 passing yards per game. Junior quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been playing well, as he is 298-of-430 (69.3 completion percentage) for 3,230 yards with 27 touchdowns to three interceptions.

He left last week's game with an injury so it will be interesting to see his passing prospects, but go with the under as coach Deion Sanders is going to protect him from getting hurt in a meaningless game.

The Utah Utes have been running the football at a great level as their 178.8 rushing yards per game rank them 36th in the nation.

Sophomore running back Ja'Quinden Jackson has been leading the program as he has 132 rushing attempts for 674 yards (5.1 yards per carry) with four rushing touchdowns on the season. With three rushing touchdowns in his last three games, go with Jackson to find the end zone once again.

Colorado vs. Utah head-to-head

The Colorado Buffaloes and the Utah Utes square off for the 70th time against one another on Saturday. The Utes hold a slight 34-32-3 all-time record and have won each of the previous six games, including last year's 63-21 road win over the Buffs.

Colorado vs. Utah prediction

The Utah Utes are a top-25 program and the Colorado Buffaloes have been brutal lately. With the question marks surrounding the health of Shedeur Sanders, this Buffs offense is going to be brutal. Expect the Utes to score well and not give up many points to easily cover the spread.

Prediction: Utah Utes -21.5
