No. 21 Arizona vs Colorado Odds

• Opening point spread: Arizona -8.5
• Opening moneyline: Arizona -385/Colorado +300
• Opening total: Over/Under 56 points scored
• Time: 2 p.m. ET Saturday (Pac-12 Network)

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET SATURDAY: BetMGM opened Arizona as 10-point road chalk and went to -10.5 Monday. On Thursday, the Wildcats returned to -10, then this morning went to -9.5 (-115) and -9.5 flat.

It's two-way spread play with a lean toward Arizona, at 53% of tickets/57% of money. But per usual this season, moneyline action is heavy to Coach Prime and the Buffaloes. Colorado is attracting 86% of moneyline tickets/87% of moneyline dollars.

Asked if an Arizona win/Colorado cover would be the ideal outcome, BetMGM's Seamus Magee said: "That would be correct."

BetMGM's total opened at 55, fell to 53.5 Monday, then rebounded to 55.5 by Wednesday. The number dipped to 54 briefly, then went to 54.5, and it moved to 55.5 (Under -105) today. Current splits aren't available.

UPDATE 5:30 P.M. ET THURSDAY: PointsBet moved from Arizona -10 to -9.5 and back to -10, all within a few hours Sunday night. The Wildcats then advanced to -10.5 Monday afternoon and stuck there until returning to -10 this morning.

Despite Coach Prime and Colorado struggling for several weeks, the Buffs are still taking 65% of spread tickets and 96% of spread dollars so far. But moneyline bettors at PointsBet have jumped off the Deion Sanders bandwagon, at least as of this evening. Arizona is getting 79% of tickets/62% of cash on the moneyline.

The total opened at 55.5, tumbled to 53 (Over -115) by Monday afternoon, then made its way back to 55 by Tuesday evening. The number crept down to 54.5 this morning, with 74% of tickets/61% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 3 P.M. ET TUESDAY: Colorado was an early-season public darling, but now is unlikely to even reach .500 and earn a bowl bid. The Buffaloes are on a 1-5 SU purge and sit at 4-5 SU overall (5-3-1 ATS).

In Week 10, Coach Prime's troops trailed Oregon State 23-5 early in the fourth quarter. The Buffs got a couple late TDs to cover the 12.5-point spread, but still lost 26-19 at home.

On the flip side, Arizona is on a roll, breaking into the Top 25 this week. The Wildcats have won three in a row SU, all vs. ranked teams, and are on a 5-0 ATS surge. Arizona is 6-3 SU/8-1 ATS, tied with UNLV for the best spread-covering mark in the nation.

The Wildcats were 2.5-point home 'dogs vs. UCLA in Week 10 and rolled to a 27-10 victory.

On Sunday afternoon, Caesars Sports opened Arizona -8.5, and the line sprinted to -10 within an hour. By Monday afternoon, the 'Cats were out to -10.5. The total has gone the other way, opening at 56 and getting as low as 53.5 twice in the past 48 hours. It's now at 54.5.
