Colorado Buffaloes vs. West Virginia Mountaineers Prediction
I’m on West Virginia here. Colorado’s just been terrible defensively and going on the road hasn’t helped the Buffs, as they’re 0-3 SU/ATS, and lost by 16, 14 and 46 in their three road games this season. You can run on Colorado and that’s where West Virginia butters their bread and I think the Mountaineers pumel the Buffs here. Give me the Mountaineers.
