Colorado vs. UCF Best Bet: Colorado +450

Colorado enters this matchup as heavy underdogs despite the team’s 3-1 record. Although the Buffaloes enter at 3-1, they’ve yet to defeat a team as well-rounded as UCF. However, head coach Deion Sanders will have his team ready to play come Saturday. Despite most bettors expecting the Knights to win, the odds for Colorado to pull off the upset are too good to pass up.

Colorado vs. UCF Best Total Bet: Over 64.5

This game has all the makings of a shootout between two high-powered offenses. The Knights enter this matchup averaging 45.7 points per game, while Colorado follows behind, averaging 26.8. If the Buffaloes can find success early in the rushing game, it could open up the team’s passing offense and give them an excellent chance to go head-to-head with Gus Malzahn’s squad.

Colorado Best Player Bet: Travis Hunter First Touchdown Scorer +1100

Travis Hunter has been a two-way star for the Buffaloes since joining the program last year. However, on offense, the playmaker has turned heads consistently. Leading Colorado in receiving with 472 receiving yards and five touchdowns, the Georgia native could be poised for a monster game. With Colorado on the road, expect the team to be aggressive early and put points on the board in a hurry.

UCF Best Player Bet: KJ Jefferson Any Time Touchdown +105

KJ Jefferson has been known for his dual-threat ability since his time in Arkansas. After joining the Knights, he gave the offense versatility they didn’t have before the quarterback’s arrival. Jefferson enters this matchup with only 135 rushing yards, but seeing the sixth-year senior use his legs to find the endzone wouldn’t be a surprise.
