As you all know, our beloved CU Golden Buffaloes are the nation's greatest team in the only metric that counts... ATS. 
In looking at this game, it looks like the oddsmakers have sharpened their blades once again. CU opened as a whopping 15 point favorite against lowly Arizona. Bettors weren't deterred by this number. Now CU is favored by 15.5-17 depending upon where you go. Arizona is a beaten down team. We have all of the motivation in the world. Yet, a bad number is a bad number.
Colorado may very well win by 18+, but I wouldn't bet on it. The real value, IMO, is in the under. CU's stingy defense has limited nearly every poor opponent (save for Oregon) under 17 points. With an opener of 55, the total is now in the 57-58 range. Even if CU explodes for 40, the likelihood of Arizona carrying their end of the bargain is very low. Score prediction...
