Prediction, Game Preview, and Odds for Colorado vs. UCF

They are really fun.

It was exciting for UCF to come back and beat TCU, making it 3-0. Next, it goes to Florida. But first, it has to play Colorado. This Colorado team might not be very good, but 3-1 is 3-1.

It would have been an unlikely win against Baylor without a miracle play, which is not fair; Shedeur Sanders threw a rope. Since they have to play Kansas State and Arizona next, winning this is important in more than one way.

Why Colorado Will Win

Quick hits on the passes.

Because of the weather, the downfield stuff probably will not work. That is why Shedeur Sanders needs to make short to medium-range throws to get things going.

A few yards after the catch, it will be about making decisions and setting the pace from the start, which 2 can do.

It might not look good, but the Buffaloes need to do everything they can to keep the UCF offense off the field. The fact that UCF does not have any kind of steal pass rush will help a huge amount. But…

Why UCF Will Win

UCF has had time to rest and get ready, and its ground game should work in the rain and slop that is predicted.

This year, Colorado’s front line defense has been better. It is not great, but it is not too bad either. But it has not been through anything like this before.

UCF has run the ball 54 times or more in all three games. Its average of 376 yards per game is the best in the country, and the conditions should be great for this kind of game.

It also helps that Colorado can not run at all, even though they scored three scores against Baylor.

Colorado vs UCF: Who Will Win

How important is Helene really going to be?

It is going to be hot, sticky, and wet in the middle of the afternoon. There will probably be a few delays because of bad weather, but UCF will crush Buffalo’s defense even if it is sunny and 65 degrees, which it will not be.

It will look like UCF has the offense on the field the whole game.
