Arizona vs. Colorado picks
The Arizona Wildcats have been one of the top passing programs in college football this season as they rank 22nd with 287.6 passing yards per game.
Freshman quarterback Noah Fifita has been doing extremely well as he is 144-of-189 (76.2 completion percentage) for 1,521 yards with 14 touchdown passes to four interceptions. With his ability to throw the ball and the weaker Buffs defense, go with the over in Fifita's passing yards.

Junior quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been doing extremely well as he is 270-of-385 (70.1 completion percentage) for 2,882 yards with 24 touchdowns to three interceptions. Go with the over in Sanders' passing touchdowns as he will be asked to do a lot.
