Colorado ML (+202)

By no means should anyone expect Colorado to have a good season. They are one of the worst teams in the Big 12.

But they have one of the most intriguing quarterback-receiver combinations in the country in sophomore Julian Lewis now throwing to San Jose State transfer Danny Scudero. The duo may be a perfect fit for coordinator Brennan Marion’s “Go-Go” offense.

Meanwhile, Georgia Tech has to replace too much offense, including key coordinator Buster Faulkner. Perhaps even more concerning in this matchup, Georgia Tech is replacing its entire secondary.

Lewis, Scudero and Marion may exploit that enough to pull off this upset, priced too high anywhere above +180.

Score prediction: Colorado 31, Georgia Tech 27
