California remains winless against top-tier Football Bowl Subdivision teams, but Las Vegas oddsmakers think that will change this Saturday, Oct. 23.
The California Golden Bears (1-5, 0-3 Pac-12) are two-score favorites against the Colorado Buffaloes (2-4, 1-2 Pac-12), even after the Buffaloes’ 34-0 shutout against the Arizona Wildcats Saturday.
The most recent Cal v. Colorado college football betting odds is California -9.5 and a 43 total, as of Oct. 17, according to VegasInsider.com, an aggregator of legal U.S. sportsbooks’ offered odds.
California is about a 10-point favorite, and the total for “over-or-under” total score bets is 43.
The Cal v. Colorado spread opened shortly after 11 a.m. Pacific on Sunday at the Circa Resort and Casino sportsbook in Las Vegas, according to VegasInsider.com. The Circa sportsbook began taking bets with an opening line of California -9.5 and a 42 and one-half point total.
As of Sunday afternoon, college football bet spreads are available for California v. Colorado as high as California -10.5 and a 42.5 total at the WynnBET sportsbook operated by the parent company of the Wynn Las Vegas & Encore Resort.
Last week, Colorado punished Arizona at home in Folsom Field in Boulder, Colo., with big plays on all sides of the football.
Colorado safety Trevor Woods blocked an Arizona punt in the third quarter and returned the ball for a 36-yard touchdown to give his team a 13-0 lead after the successful point-after kick.
Then, one minute and 14 seconds later, Colorado outside linebacker Carson Wells brought home a pick-six for 50 yards.
The Colorado defense kept the Arizona Wildcats to only 280 total yards of offense.
Golden Bears fans will want to look out for Colorado first-year quarterback Brendon Lewis next Saturday. Lewis threw for 248 yards and two touchdowns against the Wildcats, including a 62-yard pass in the third quarter to wide receiver Brenden Rice.

While they're dogschitt this season, the Buffs are getting invaluable experience for it's true FR QB....that'll pay dividends next season...but the Buffs are bad.
I don't know why I can still comment here
Colorado is awful
!
2nd half thread is up and live. should be working for everyone!
51 yards!
Looooooonghetto.
Then we should have just kicked FG last week too
Roll on you Bearssss
wow
Funny how we make field goals against bad teams when we don’t really need them
shocked wilcox didnt run the clock when they got the ball. what is this going for blood business? what is happening today?
He realizes he's playing a team that would struggle to score v. De La Salle, let alone a P12 team
FIRST TO 21!
That's your ballgame...
Wow
Are we allowed to be fans of an opposing team's offensive line?
shoulda just threw it away
Bad hurry up playcalling, gotta get to the outside more if we're actually trying
While they're dogschitt this season, the Buffs are getting invaluable experience for it's true FR QB....that'll pay dividends next season...but the Buffs are bad.
Damn Hicks!
I don’t like us calling a TO here. Get in the locker room up 17. That’s a huge win.
best game of the year...so far for Hicks
Has Hicks had a game like this before? Wow!
Boom!
James Earl Jones is having way too much fun with Arby's commercials.
Touchback on ko please
Best second quarter of the year so far
Boom!
TE's w/ 2 TD's today, not bad
First to 21 wins, right?
Yes! But we do not have 21 yet
If we had 21 I would never say it out loud
Should've gone for 2 just to seal it
we are TE U
Can we get the ball to Nikko?
Chase is really good on the run.
Tonges chose the sideline rather than cutting inside behind his block….
Cal isn't getting many yards on 1st downs, eh?
not in 2nd Q
Lol, Ref Dykes.
Tevis could have pants him if he wanted to
I thought our officiating might improve after we fired Larry Scott. Guess we just don’t care.
not when Sonny Dykes or the new glasses ref is officiating
First year, I’m hoping we will see improvement next season.
There are no quick fixes to anything Larry Scott did....he's the Wyking Jones of Conference Commissioners.
Yeah and with the whole conference realignment stuff that happened probably took a lot of his time.
Priorities should be:
1. Scrap the 9 conference games
2. New TV deal
3. Realignment
4. Refs
I’m not optimistic
Cameraman getting fooled a lot.
Terrible call
Heh, finally got the Sonny ref reference.
thats not a hold
He didn’t touch him
Ticky-tack call.
Bimage
Boom-age!
too bad only on year from him
Friendly reminder that Charlie Ragle still has a job.
What's up with the special teams?
We’ve been atrocious on special teams for two years now. Nothing new and we’re clearly not doing much to get better.
special teams is based on the depth of linebackers and safety...both of which Cal is thin on
Jerry’s son!
that kickoff return gave me a heart attack
I'm used to it so I'm very calm.
I hope you're ok.
Colorado's defense is pretty dang good.
Barely made it but the snap was good
Do we still have the same snapper?
Nope, the snapper now is Cindric on PAT's and FG's. I think Slater is still doing punts.
Etter should be doing both imo. Both PAT snaps were very close calls
I see. Makes sense. Well at least Ragle made some improvement.
