4* on Colorado/Utah UNDER



There is a lot of value in this line today, even at such a low number. These two teams met three times last year with final scores of 41-53, 55-48, and 33-73. The totals of those games were 120, 126.5, and 130, so not too far off today's number and yet they all went drastically under.



For the season Colorado is scoring just 63.2 ppg on the road and allowing 66.8 ppg. Utah on the other hand only scores 65.4 ppg and they allow jut 59.7 ppg at home. Colorado allows opponents to shoot just 39.4% from the floor while the Utes give up 38% from the field. Neither team fouls so the game isn't going to be slowed down and points added while the clock is stopped.



So why are we getting value here today? Colorado has scored 75 and 81 points the last two games by shooting 52.6% and 59.6% from the field. One, they aren't that great of a shooting team so those numbers are not going to continue and two, Utah plays better defense than either Stanford or Cal anyway.



Utah just gave up 87 points in an embarrassing effort to Stanford. I think they tighten things up on the defensive end of the floor and keep this score under the total here today.
