Colorado vs Arizona Prediction, Game Preview, and Betting Lines

Colorado might have lost to Kansas State last week, but it was a close fight, the team is playing well despite all of its flaws, and it's still in the mix for the Big 12 title if it can pull this off.
There's nothing easy the rest of the way, but it's still a ton of fun and has the talent to pull this off if the O blows up.
Arizona has lost three of its last four games, but beat Utah. It's effectively out of the Big 12 hunt, but three of the next four games are in Tucson with no Iowa State to deal with.
Win out, and see what happens, but it starts by stopping the Buffaloes' high-powered attack.
Oct 7, 2023; Tempe, Arizona, USA; Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders walks the sidelines as his team takes on the ASU Sun Devils at Mountain America Stadium.

Why Colorado Will Win
If anything, the passing game is getting even better.
Colorado might have lost to Kansas State, and Shedeur Sanders threw a pick, but he also hit 85% of his passes for 388 yards and three scores.
Does Arizona have the offense to keep up? It was amazing against the awful New Mexico defense, but hasn't scored 24 points in any game since.
The Wildcats are great in pass protection, and there's a little bit of pressure coming from the defensive front, but it has to lead to production.
Colorado keeps on succeeding, but the offense is still getting him popped, and the line is among the worst in the nation in tackles for loss allowed.
Arizona is okay when it allows a ton of yards, but that's when it bends without doing a lot of breaking. As long as the Cats are forcing field goals, they'll be fine.
Colorado vs Arizona: Who Will Win
Can Arizona find the passing game again?
The parts are there, but it's like the O is pressing way too hard. Noah Fifita has to avoid the interceptions, and at the very least, make up for them with the big shots down the field.
Get ready for yet another wild and crazy game involving Colorado, but without the points everyone will expect.
