Bet Buffaloes To Cover + Sanders Passing Yards In Alamo Bowl

Colorado Buffaloes

  • The Colorado Buffaloes are favored by 3.5 in the 2024 Alamo Bowl against the BYU Cougars
  • After receiving a massive insurance policy for injury, take the over on Sanders’ passing yards

SAN ANTONIO – The Colorado Buffaloes are favored in the 2024 Alamo Bowl against the BYU Cougars. The majority of starters are expected to play in this bowl game and legal sports betting sites have odds on all of the action.

Colorado has gone 6-2 ATS this season when playing as the favorite but the BYO Cougars have been a better team ATS when they play as the underdog.

During the 2024-25 season, BYU has gone 3-3-1 ATS as the favorite but 4-1 as the underdog. Both teams fell short of making a postseason push at the end of the regular season and are looking to now finish strong.

Even with Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter preparing for the NFL Draft, it is expected that they will play full strength in this bowl game. Both players reportedly received the largest injury insurance policy that college football has ever seen.

Don’t Let BYU Defensive Stats Fool You

Looking at BYU’s defensive stats, the Cougars have allowed the 22nd least amount of passing yards per game this season (186.9). Only one quarterback this season (Sawyer Robertson) has thrown for at least 300 passing yards against BYU.

However, Sanders has thrown for the third most passing yards this season and legal CFB betting sites are not projecting him to slow it down in this bowl game.

  • Shedeur Sanders Over 318 Passing Yards -115
  • Shedeur Sanders Under 318 Passing Yards -115

Between his push to be the first overall pick and the lucrative insurance policy, Sanders to go over his passing yards is one of the best bets for the Alamo Bowl, even with the talented BYU secondary.

In Colorado’s last game against Oklahoma State, Sanders threw for 438 yards (second highest of the season). He is averaging 327 passing yards per game.

Travis Hunter, fresh off winning the Heisman Trophy Award is also set to play in this game. He leads Colorado in total receptions (92) and receiving yards (1,152) and helps the case for Sanders to hit the over on his passing yards immensely.
