Arizona opens as small favorite for Friday visit from Colorado

What a difference a game makes. Or in the case of the point spread for Arizona-Colorado, two games.

The Arizona Wildcats have opened as a 4-point favorite for Friday’s home game against the Colorado Buffaloes, per VegasInsider.

If that holds it would be the first time Arizona has been favored since Week 4 when it was a 4.5-point favorite at Oregon State (a game it won 35-14).

Arizona (4-5, 3-3 Pac-12) is 5-4 against the spread this season, including 3-2 at home, with Saturday’s 44-15 win over Oregon coming as 7.5-point underdog. Colorado (5-3, 2-3) was a 26.5-point home favorite against Oregon State but lost 41-34 in overtime, dropping the Buffaloes to 5-3 ATS.
