Although last week&#8217;s blunder against Arizona doesn&#8217;t show it, this team has adjusted since joining the conference and has become a much more competitive team over the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63738&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Entering this one, the goal will be to not overlook an opponent who hasn&#8217;t adjusted as well as they have. Colorado joined the conference at the same time as the Utes, but they&#8217;re 0-8 in conference play this season (Utah is .500 against Pac-12 opponents).<\/p>\n<p>So far this season, the Utes are allowing a respectable 25.5 points per game; although, that number is only good enough for 61st in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The team is 62nd in terms of points scored (29.5 per game), and it&#8217;s doing it while throwing 188.2 yards per contest (104th) and rushing for 180.7 yards per contest (50th).<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<h3>Colorado<\/h3>\n<p>The Colorado Buffaloes have had a tough time defending this season. They&#8217;re giving up 39.1 points per contest, which is only good enough for 121st in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the team is struggling against both the pass and the run. Colorado is 97th in passing yards allowed, 108th in rushing yards allowed and 112th in total yards allowed.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, the pass is the only area where this team has found any semblance of success. It&#8217;s thrown for 281.6 yards per game, which is good enough for 22nd in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>In total, this team is scoring 28 points per game, which is 74th in the rankings. <\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63739&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, that&#8217;s a point margin of 11.1 points per game in their opponents&#8217; favors, which is hardly conducive to winning at any level.<\/p>\n<h3>NCAA Football Handicapping Trends:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Under is 7-1-1 in UTAH last 9 games overall.<\/li>\n<li>Under is 12-3-1 in UTAH last 16 conference games.<\/li>\n<li>UTAH are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Week 14 NCAA Football<\/h3>\n<p>The good news for Colorado is that the Utes are hardly the Oregon Ducks. Oregon put up 44 points on the Buffaloes one week ago, and that shouldn&#8217;t be the case this week.<\/p>\n<p>The bad news? They&#8217;re still going up against a ranked opponent.<\/p>\n<h3>4* Free NCAA Betting Pick Utah -9<\/h3>\n<p>The Utes may be struggling a bit as of late, but nothing boosts confidence (and production) like playing the worst team in your conference.<\/p>\n<p>Against the Buffaloes, Utah should regain both its confidence and its production. Despite last week&#8217;s disappointment, the team is still a top-25 program.<\/p>\n<p>Look for the Utes to end the regular season on a high note with a solid win against Colorado.<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our\u00a0<a title=\"College Football Week 14 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/ncaaf.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated College Football Week 14 Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 14:\u00a0Utes vs Buffaloes Week 14 college betting action sees the #25\u00a0Utah Utes taking on the\u00a0Colorado Buffaloes.\u00a0Cappers Picks provides free college football handicapping tips all season long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":986,"featured_media":89122,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[1565,324,3712,3202,2681,64679,64678,5217],"class_list":["post-89121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-college-football-handicapping","tag-college-football-odds","tag-colorado-buffaloes","tag-ncaa-football-handicapping","tag-utah-utes","tag-utah-utes-vs-colorado-buffaloes","tag-utes-vs-buffaloes","tag-week-14-odds"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/986"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89121"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89121\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":89134,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89121\/revisions\/89134"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
