A second straight winnable game for Colorado? Absolutely.

The Cardinal are in a bad spot, just like the Sun Devils who Colorado saw the week prior and Deion Sanders and Co. will have no problem taking care of Stanford at home to improve to 2-2 in league play.

A .500 record in Pac-12 play? Who could have seen this coming? Pretty much no one.

Prediction: Win (3-4, 2-2)

That .500 record in conference play won’t last too long, however.

UCLA will host Colorado which will be riding a two-game winning streak, but the Bruins will have their way with the Buffaloes. Dorian Thompson-Robinson may be gone, but Dante Moore is coming in as one of the most touted quarterback recruits in the country and he could lead Chip Kelly’s team back to the top.

The Bruins are going to make a statement here with a comfortable win at home and Colorado will drop below .500 in Pac-12 play again.

Prediction: Loss (3-5, 2-3)
