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

How great is Colorado?

It has a lot of problems, but it played well in a tough game at Colorado State. Now that the score is 2-1, it is time to prove to everyone that it is real.

A few weeks ago, Utah was too much for Baylor, but this is the real Big 12 start.

The Bears played well against Air Force, but the offence needs to be ready to keep up with them in prime time.

Why Baylor Will Win

Welcome to the best college football defence against the pass.

Do not ignore this just because Air Force and Tarleton State were on the list. Also, the Bears played well against Utah. Cam Rising played half of that game before getting hurt.

The defence does a great job of stopping the run on third down, but after three games in Colorado, they still can not run the ball well enough, and Shedeur Sanders is still getting popped by the offensive line. That is not good in one big way…

Why Colorado Will Win

There is not much that Baylor does to get into the backfield.

There will be a few big hits that hit Sanders, but the defence does not do much to put pressure on him.

Two just needs some time to work, and he will pass the ball around and make big things happen.

But there will not be a running game to keep things even. When the big plays start coming, the Bears will have a hard time keeping up.

Also, Baylor does not like to fight over who has control of the ball the most, so that should not be a problem for the Buffs.

Colorado vs Baylor: Who Will Win

The defence for Colorado will again be bad, the offensive line will again be average, and Travis Hunter will make a few big plays.

Once the Buffs show a little more punch, they will get to 3-1. But they will still show all the flaws that will be bigger problems when they play USF and Kansas State in the next few weeks.
