Weber State vs Colorado Prediction 

Colorado was able to get a huge win to open the season last week and they should cruise to win number two here. The Buffaloes played very strong defense against Georgia Tech, but they need to improve their offense. Weber State is 1-1 to start the year and while their offense has scored 72 points, they have allowed 76 points on defense. This is a great spot for the Colorado offense to find some rhythm and I think they will dominate this game on both sides. Take the Buffaloes to cover.
