Baylor vs

Colorado Prediction

In this highly anticipated matchup, the Colorado Buffaloes are coming in as solid favorites with a 64.0% chance of beating the Baylor Bears. The key player to watch for Colorado is Anthony Hankerson, who is projected to rush for an impressive 90.0 yards in the game. Although he's not expected to find the end zone on the ground, his contributions could be crucial in setting up scoring opportunities for the Buffaloes. Conversely, Baylor will be looking to pull off the upset, and quarterback Blake Shapen will need to step up his game, especially in protecting the football. In simulations where Baylor emerges victorious, Shapen averages 1.14 touchdown passes but also throws 1.4 interceptions, highlighting the importance of taking care of possession against a team like Colorado.

Richard Reese will play a pivotal role in Baylor's ground game, as he averages 70.0 rushing yards and 0.28 rushing touchdowns in wins. However, in losses, his numbers drop slightly to 66.0 yards and 0.14 touchdowns, emphasizing the need for consistent production from him to give Baylor a chance at success. On the defensive side, Colorado boasts an impressive 83.0% chance of forcing more turnovers than they commit, which directly correlates with their success rate of winning games. A positive turnover margin has proven to be a significant factor for Colorado's victories, with a 67.0% win rate when they secure more takeaways than giveaways.

With the current point spread favoring Colorado at -1.5 and an over/under line of 52.5 points set for the game, both teams have their work cut out for them in what promises to be a closely contested battle.
