The current betting odds have Colorado listed as a 10.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Colorado hasn't looked great this season with their 4-5 record overall and they have been struggling a lot more lately after their hot start to the season as they are only 1-5 in their conference games. They are also 2-3 in their home games this season but they have looked a lot better in those games as they have put up a better fight and have kept more games closer in those losses. Arizona is having a great season this year with their 6-3 record overall but as good as they have been in their games lately, they are still just 2-2 in their road games this year as they have struggled more in those. They also have to battle the altitude in this specific road game and they are going to be getting a Colorado team that has to be sick of losing so many games in a row now. Arizona is now a ranked team coming into this week too so Colorado will have the motivation to take them down here and they will use this game as a statement game to get back on track and try to make a bowl game still. Even if they can't pull off the upset win, Colorado has the talent to keep this a closer game at home. The best way to place a bet here is on Colorado to cover the spread in this game.
