Colorado at UCF odds: Early point spread released, How to Watch

The Colorado Buffaloes are traveling to Orlando on Saturday for a game against the UCF Knights that could help to dictate the shape of the Big 12 race moving forward this season.

UCF is entering the game unbeaten and coming off a bye week. So, the expectation is that the Knights will be prepared for a talented Colorado team coming into the Bounce House. Meanwhile, it’s been an emotional couple of weeks for the Buffaloes, after beating rival Colorado State and then Baylor in a stellar come from behind game.

The Colorado Buffaloes, led by head coach Deion Sanders, know that all eyes are going to be on them this season as they look to make it to a bowl game and contend for a conference championship. Through four games, with the Buffaloes sitting at 3-1 on the season, only losing to Nebraska, it seems like Colorado is ready to make its move into contender status.

In their last game, Colorado scored a Hail Mary touchdown on the final play of regulation to force overtime where the Buffaloes managed a win. It was a thrilling game that analyst Paul Finebaum praised the next morning.

“We’re not talking about a football team. We’re talking about a legitimate reality show. Move over ‘Golden Bachelor.’ I mean, this is the most exciting thing on television right now. And by the way, it’s been that way since Coach Prime got there. But I don’t think in all the dramatics we’ve seen anything quite like the scene last night,” Finebaum said.

“I mean, this was made for Hollywood. It’s hard even to believe. I mean, the percentage of making this, of Colorado winning the game, was under 1% on the final play, and they still managed to do it. But then again, Coach Prime is in charge.”

For its part, UCF came back from down 21 points to beat TCU on the road the last time the Knights were on the field. That helped UCF move to 3-0 on the season as they look to have an improved season in their second year as a Big 12 school.

A major factor for UCF is going to be the running game. The Knights have several capable running backs but that group is headlined by RJ Harvey, who has 448 yards on the ground and eight rushing touchdowns in three games this season.
