Cincinnati vs. Colorado Prediction

We have now reached the point in the season where the Colorado Buffaloes are back to getting overvalued. They've won four of their last five games, and would have had five straight if not for a late collapse when hosting ranked Kansas State earlier this month. They turned in convincing wins against Arizona and UCF, despite being underdogs in both games. Now, the oddsmakers are back to favoring the Buffs, getting nearly a touchdown spread at home after proving themselves in recent contests.

Shedeur Sanders has thrown for eight touchdowns in the last three games, but also has four interceptions in that same span. He is still prone to mistakes in the passing game, and giveaways could keep Cincinnati in this game. He will be targeting Travis Hunter heavily tonight, and Cincinnati knows it. If they can limit that connection, Colorado will struggle to build a lead against a solid Bearcats unit.

We're going to roll with the underdog Bearcats on the road tonight for two reasons. They have been one of the most underrated squads in Power 4 football, not receiving much attention at all for their 5-2 record. Their two losses have been by a combined four points and to great teams. A one-point shortcoming against undefeated Pitt in Week 2, and a 3-point loss to Texas Tech in a late September shootout. They played great defense last week against Arizona State, largely limiting one of the best backs in college football to just 75 rushing yards in Cam Skatteboo. Colorado is more of a pass-first offense which could cause problems, but the Bearcats are on a roll and will keep this one close, if not pull an outright upset as soon as everyone stops doubting Colorado.
