On the season Utah is averaging 22.7 points per game while the defense is giving up 27 points per game. Utah is led at quarterback Jake Bentley who has thrown for 489 yards, three touchdowns, and four interceptions. In the last game against Oregon State, Bently didn’t turn the ball over and that was the difference as they came away with the victory.

On the season Colorado is averaging 31.8 points per game while their defense is giving up 24.2 points per game. The passing game for Colorado has been fine, but the rushing game has been the real strength averaging 245.5 yards per game and it’s what they will lean on for their defense in this game. Colorado is led by Sam Noyer at quarterback who has thrown for 742 yards, four touchdowns, and four interceptions. In this game, Colorado needs to try and run up the score and put pressure on Utah to try and keep up. .
The under is 8-2 in Utah’s last 10 road games. Utah is 9-3 against the spread in their last 12 conference games. The under is 10-4-1 in Utah’s last 15 games overall. The under is 8-3 in Colorado’s last 11 games played on Friday.
Colorado is the better team and they should have no issue getting the job done in this game. Look for Colorado to run up the score, Utah won’t be able to keep it close, and that will lead to Colorado winning this game.
