Colorado Buffaloes have been struggling in conference play, losing all eight Big 12 games so far. Their season record stands at 9-10, with a disappointing 7-12 against the spread.

Betting odds favor Arizona State over winless Colorado in upcoming game

I plan to capitalize on the opportunity to secure favorable odds when betting against the winless conference team, Colorado. Despite their home court advantage, Colorado has not performed well. On the other hand, Arizona State, although facing some challenges, exhibits potential for improvement in their season. It is noteworthy that Colorado has a poor track record, failing to cover in the majority of their games against Big 12 teams. Meanwhile, Arizona State has shown promise by covering in their recent conference road games. Based on these observations, I am inclined to support Arizona State in this matchup.
