The Pac-12’s Colorado Buffaloes will look to extend their current six-game winning streak this Saturday afternoon with a trip to Clune Arena to face off against the Air Force Falcons, out of the Mountain West. The game is set to get underway at 4 p.m. (ET).

The Buffaloes stumbled out of the gate with a 72-60 loss to No. 18 Baylor as 2.5-point road underdogs, but since that loss they have been perfect with six straight up wins. They are 3-3 against the spread, and the total has been evenly split 2-2 in games with posted lines.

Air Force is an even 3-3 SU (1-2 ATS) on the year and coming off an 83-60 loss to Richmond this past Wednesday night as a nine-point underdog at home. The total went “over” the 134-point closing line. They are now 2-2 SU at home this season.
