SportsLine’s model recently revealed its college football predictions and best bets for the matchup between Stanford Cardinal and the Colorado Buffaloes on Friday.

Stanford, aiming for a rare conference win, will face off against the Colorado Buffaloes in a Pac-12 battle. Having suffered a substantial defeat of 42-6 against Oregon in their last game, Stanford has struggled in recent conference matches, losing seven in a row and 17 out of 18. On the other hand, Colorado, with a 4-2 record and a recent victory over Arizona State, has the advantage of being the 12.5 point favorite in this game.

The game is scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. ET at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo. Ahead of making any picks, it’s crucial to check the latest Colorado vs. Stanford odds, with the Buffaloes being favored by 12.5 points and the over/under set at 59.5 points. To make an informed decision, see the insights and suggestions from SportsLine’s trusted computer model.

Key trends and odds for the game are as follows:

– Colorado vs. Stanford spread: Buffaloes -12.5
– Colorado vs. Stanford over/under: 59 points
– Colorado vs. Stanford money line: Buffaloes -502, Cardinal +372

Notably, the Buffaloes have struggled against the spread in their previous seven conference games, while the Cardinal have had a tough time covering in their last 18 Pac-12 contests.

Both teams have key players to watch out for. Colorado’s strong rushing attack, led by Dylan Edwards and Anthony Hankerson, poses a challenge for Stanford’s defense. Meanwhile, Stanford’s Benjamin Yurosek and Elic Ayomanor lead the Cardinal’s aerial assault, backed by a strong running game from Casey Filkins and E.J. Smith.

According to SportsLine’s model, the projected total score is 53 points, suggesting the game may be low-scoring. The model also indicates a strong possibility of one side of the spread hitting in over 50% of simulations.
