The Colorado Buffaloes, the 2023 college football season’s biggest story so far, has earned the betting public’s confidence after big wins over TCU and Nebraska in the first two weeks. The Buffs host the Colorado State Rams of the Mountain West Conference at Folsom Field this week, and are 24-point home favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Their previous two wins were by three and 22 points, so if the Buffaloes were to cover in this in-state rivalry matchup, it would mark their biggest win yet. They face two opponents ranked in the top 15 in the AP Poll in Weeks 4 and 5, so they will be looking to head into those matchups with some good momentum.
Despite the large spread, over 90% of the betting public has placed their money on Colorado to cover, and 85% of the money spent has gone to Colorado covering. The game kicks off at 10:00 p.m. ET.
