If this game had been played Week 1, there's little doubt the Utes would have been favored. But they have been felled by inept QB play as the foundation for a dreadful offense. However, Utah still has a top-10 scoring defense (17 ppg) and four of its five losses have come by single figures. There's plenty of value on Utah against a Colorado club with a much less pronounced home-field advantage during a day game.

Utah should’ve beaten the Cougars last week. They come into Boulder with some momentum and have been very competitive on the road despite their 4-5 record. Colorado is 3-1 ATS at home on the season but 14 points seems like to many points. The Utes defense has been holding opponents to less than 20 points on the season and Colorado only has a +10.5 point differential at home.

Colorado has hit the pinnacle of their season with a 7-2 record, and eyes on getting to the Big 12 title game. As great as they have been, Utah knows their strengths and weaknesses as they came over from the Pac-12 with them. They also nearly knocked off undefeated BYU last week. Look for Utah to carry over the momentum of last week, and at least provide a scare to Colorado. Take the points with the Utes.
