Colorado vs Arizona predictions
Last year’s matchup between these two teams was decided by a field goal as time expired. Since then, Arizona has gotten worse and Colorado has gotten better.
The Wildcats lost their head coach (Jedd Fisch), leading rusher (Jonah Coleman) and leading tackler (Ephesians Prysock) from that game to Washington. Meanwhile, the Buffs have the Big 12’s leader in passing yards (Shedeur Sanders), receptions (Travis Hunter) and receiving touchdowns (LaJohntay Wester) to go along with an improved defense.
Colorado also nearly beat a team (Kansas State) that whooped Arizona (31-7) back in Week 3. The Buffs get their revenge from last season and take care of the struggling Wildcats.
Colorado wins 38-21.
