How is Utah’s Mental State?

The big question for Utah heading into this game is how their mental state is. Three games ago against TCU, Utah was defeated 13-7. Two games ago against Houston it was much of the same and they ended up losing 17-14. Last weekend Utah looked like they might beat BYU but they ended up falling short and losing 22-21. Brandon Rose was under center and he completed 12 of his 21 passes for 112 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Michah Bernard was good on the ground rushing 17 times for 78 yards. 

Utah on the season is averaging 22.6 points while their defense is giving up 17.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 105th in the league while the defense is ranked 11th best in college football. 

Colorado Controls Their Own Destiny

Colorado knows if they win out, they can win the Big 12 and lock up their spot in the college football playoff. Colorado in the last game went on the road against Texas Tech and they secured the 41-27 victory. At the end of the first quarter, they were down 13-0 but they fought back and they ended up cruising. In the third quarter, they scored 21 points. Shedeur Sanders completed 30 of his 43 passes for 291 yards and three touchdowns. Travis Hunter caught nine passes for 99 yards and a touchdown. 

Colorado on the season is averaging 32.4 points while their defense is giving up 22.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 35th in the league while the defense is ranked 51st in all of college football. Colorado will play against Kansas following this one.

Why Colorado Will Beat Utah

  • Colorado has won each of its last seven November home games against non-AP-ranked teams.
  • Utah has lost each of its last five games.
  • Colorado has covered the spread in each of its last seven games against conference opponents.
  • Utah has failed to cover the spread in four of its last five games against conference opponents.

Utah vs Colorado Prediction

Colorado is going to put on a show here. Colorado is averaging 32.4 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. This Utah offense just isn’t good enough and that is going to be the difference here. Utah is going to really struggle to get the scoring going, and Colorado is going to have this game locked up by halftime. Back Colorado against the spread.
