Utah vs. Colorado Picks
Point Spread Pick for Utah vs. Colorado
- Colorado Buffaloes to cover. (4 Units)
The Buffaloes have the edge here because they’re playing very well offensively, scoring more than 89 points per game at home, while making 50 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 77 percent of their free throws, while the Utes make under 70 percent of theirs. They rebound the ball well and grab more than 10 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of taking care of the ball and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Utes aren’t very good defensively, and gave up more than 80 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Buffaloes. Take Colorado to cover the spread.
