Top 2 Storylines to Follow if You Are Betting on Utah vs Colorado
1. Colorado Is in Driver’s Seat to Make Big 12 Championship Game
Colorado continues to get some help from other Big 12 teams. All Coach Prime’s squad needs to do now is win the team’s remaining three games to make the Big 12 title game.
Just like this Utah matchup, the Buffs are expected to be sizable favorites in the college football lines for the team’s remaining schedule. Colorado is riding a three-game winning streak into this matchup.
The BetUS Sportsbook has Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter as a heavy favorite to win the Heisman Trophy at even money. Meanwhile, rumors are swirling that Sanders may have the opportunity to look at some new Zillow listings by taking an NFL job.
Oh yeah, Deion Sanders did play for the Dallas Cowboys. Coach Prime attempted to shut down these rumors ahead of the team’s matchup against Utah.

“Oh Lord, don’t start that,” Sanders said during an interview with FS1’s “Speak,” per college football news outlets “I love it where I am.”
2. Utah Can’t Catch a Break at Quarterback
Following Utah’s quarterback situation is a bit like keeping up with the love interests in one of those “Real Housewives” shows. Utah’s 17-year starter Cam Rising was ruled out for the season. By the way, Rising can pull a “Happy Gilmore” and play his eighth college season in 2025.
Then the Utes turned to Zach Wilson’s (yes, that Zach Wilson of cougar fame) brother Isaac Wilson. The freshman had not been great, so Utah started Brandon Rose against BYU.
Kyle Whittingham says Brandon Rose is out for the season with a lower-leg injury.

Rose played well but sustained a season-ending injury. Wilson will once again be QB1 against Colorado.

Utah vs Colorado Best Bet: Utes Cover Spread vs Coach Prime
There’s no question that Colorado is the better team, and the Buffs ride a three-game winning streak into this matchup. Shedeur Sanders is looking like the best quarterback in college football and the potential No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

Yet, there is a certain pressure that comes with Colorado now being in the driver’s seat to make the Big 12 Championship.
We saw that a bit at the beginning of the Texas Tech game. Utah has shown plenty of fight and I like the Utes to cover ATS as part of my best college football picks this week.
