*10* GAME OF WEEK Colorado.

The Colorado Buffaloes are sitting in last place in the PAC12 South, but they've been perhaps more competitive than their 1-4 conference record would suggest. They lost last week by a score of 35-31 at UCLA, and they defeated Oregon State the week before. I like Colorado getting double-digits at home against Stanford this Saturday.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Situational - The Cardinal needed to engineer a late drive to kick a field goal in a come from behind win over Washington on the road last week, and with a home meeting versus Oregon next Saturday, they could get caught looking ahead here this week.

2. Nelson Spruce - The Buffaloes senior wideout is the PAC12's all time receptions leader with 267, and he's second in the conference this season with 63. He's coming off his best game of the season, pulling in 11 catches for 90 yards at UCLA.

3. X-Factor - The Buffaloes are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
