Key points
  • Houston is taking on Colorado tonight, and we have a good chance to make some cash on the game.
  • They were competitive enough, but in the two years since Travis Hunter and Shadeur Sanders have left, the Buffaloes have struggled significantly.
  • Houston was able to keep Utah from scoring in the first half and held a 13-7 lead going into the fourth quarter.

The Colorado Buffaloes were the talk of the college football world a few years ago when head coach Deion Sanders came into town.

Colorado has done a solid job of playing better at home, but I don't see Houston taking it easy on them here.

Additional details
  • Colorado has lost four of their past five games, with the lone win over Kansas State University in overtime.
  • The Houston Cougars are 7-2 for the season, and they've been competitive in every game they've played.

  • College Football gets an early start on some great action tonight as we have three football games, and two of the three games feature a top-25-ranked squad taking the field.
  • It does seem like the Cougars need to have a perfect game for them to beat some of the upper-echelon teams, but they shouldn't have any issues with tonight's opponent.
