Desmond Howard Predicts Massive College Football Upset on Saturday

The Colorado Buffaloes won an overtime thriller in Week 4 at home against Baylor, but are now tasked with taking on the UCF Knights in front of a hostile crowd in Orlando.

Whether it's because the Knights have the best rushing attack in the country or a significant home-field advantage at the "Bounce House," the oddsmakers have UCF listed as 13.5-point favorites.

So, when Desmond Howard picked Colorado to win on ESPN's "College GameDay," it certainly stood out as quite the upset selection.

Howard cited Colorado's passing attack led by quarterback Shedeur Sanders as a major reason why.

"I think their offense is going to score enough points to win this game," Howard said . "Because you know that UCF is going to slow it down, but I like Shedeur Sanders. They (Colorado) gonna win."

Howard wasn't the only person to pick the Buffs, as Nick Saban's wife, Ms. Terry, and Pat McAfee also picked Colorado to win. As for the other three analysts on the panel, they picked the Knights.

Whoever wins this game will be doing so in front of an extremely large audience, both in person and at home.

According to Yahoo Sports , UCF deemed this game to be a sell-out back in June, which means there will be over 45,000 people in attendance. There also happens to be over 100 recruits visiting to watch this game, which Deion Sanders has already expressed he thinks is because they want to see the Buffs.

The new Big 12 battle was also selected for Fox's "Big Noon Kickoff" game, which means it'll be in a prime viewing slot.
