I think Colorado is the best team in a pretty mediocre Pac-12. The Buffaloes already beat USC by 21 in L.A., and this time Colorado will be at home, where it has gone 12-2 this season. The Buffaloes have won four of their last five games and know tonight's game is big if they want to keep this special season going. Colorado covers.

Though the Trojans triumphed twice last week with their premier player, F Onyeka Okongwu (16.4 ppg, 8.9 rpg), in concussion protocol, they still welcome him back with open arms for this test. His timing could not be better, given that Colorado has yielded 52 ppg in a six-game stretch with five outright wins. USC ranks 31st in the country for defensive efficiency, all of which suggests a low-to-moderate score favoring the side receiving a pile of points.
