The Colorado Buffaloes are set to visit Clarence D. Martin Stadium in Pullman, Washington for a Pac-12 clash against the Washington State Cougars. The Colorado Buffaloes come into this matchup with a 3-3 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Oregon Ducks, 45-3. QB Steven Montez struggled to get any offense generated through the air for the Buffaloes as he connected on 19 of his 34 attempts for 131 yards and 4 interceptions. Sophomore RB Alex Fontenot had a solid game on the ground as he ran for 71 yards on 15 carries.

The Colorado Buffaloes struggled on the defensive side of the ball as they allowed the Oregon Ducks to score 45 points and rack up a total of 527 yards of offense. Junior LB Nate Landman led the way for the Colorado defense with 14 tackles and 2 TFL. The secondary had a productive game for the Buffaloes as Mikial Onu and Delrick Abrams Jr. combined for 15 tackles and 3 pass deflections. Sophomore DE Terrane Lang contributed the lone sack of the game for the unit.

The Washington State Cougars come into this matchup with a 3-3 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Arizona State Sun Devils, 38-34. QB Anthony Gordon had a big game through the air for the Cougars as he connected on 44 of his 64 pass attempts for 466 yards and 3 TDs. WR Easop Winston Jr. was the top target for Gordon and Washington State as he hauled in 14 catches for 118 yards and a TD.

The Washington State Cougars struggled on the defensive side of the ball against the Arizona State Sun Devils as they allowed them to score 38 points and rack up a total of 532 yards of offense. Junior LB Jahad Woods led the way for the Washington State defense as he contributed 11 tackles. Senior CB Marcus Strong had a productive game from the secondary for the Cougars as he contributed 9 tackles and 1 sack.

The favorite has dominated the number as of recent when the Washington State Cougars and Colorado Buffaloes meet as they have covered the spread in 4 consecutive meetings. This number appears big at initial look, but the Colorado Buffaloes have been awful on the defensive side of the ball as they are allowing an average of 307.2 passing yards per game which plays into the hands of Washington State. The Cougars have one of the top QBs in the country with Anthony Gordon as he has already thrown for 2612 yards, 25 TDs, and 6 interceptions which spells trouble for Colorado. The Cougars have their own problems on the defensive side of the ball, but Steven Montez is coming off a terrible outing and I can’t back him just yet. Final Score Prediction, Washington State Cougars win and cover ATS 49-24.
