What will happen to the Buffs after losing to Kansas? I'll be tracking Colorado football odds across several markets from the top Colorado sports betting sites throughout the year.

Colorado Buffaloes Odds: National Championship, Playoffs, and More

Thanks to Colorado's loss to an unranked Kansas team with just two weeks left in the season, the Buff's postseason hopes came to a screeching halt. There are still several Colorado football odds to track, most notably the Heisman Trophy award winner. All of the odds below have been pulled from bet365 Colorado.

I always suggest checking multiple Colorado betting apps prior to placing any wager, but especially futures markets like the ones above. Futures odds tend to vary much more widely between betting sites, so it's worth digging around to find the best price.

Colorado Buffaloes Playoff Chances

The Buffaloes are no longer in playoff contention after losing to Kansas. This loss sealed their fate in terms of being able to compete for a Big 12 title, which left them with no path to the College Football Playoffs.

Can Colorado make the College Football Playoff?

No, Colorado can no longer make the College Football Playoff. The loss to Kansas in Week 13 essentially sealed Colorado's fate.

Colorado Football Odds to Win Big 12

Colorado cannot win the Big 12 as the championship game will be played between Iowa State and Arizona State. The 2024 season ended with a four-way tie for first, but Colorado was eliminated via record against common opponents.

Colorado National Championship Odds

Colorado no longer has National Championship odds available after being knocked out of playoff contention. It was a wild ride for their odds, but this tweet from BetMGM's John Ewing shows the Buffs had backers heading into the season:

Colorado Football Heisman Contenders

The Buffs have two players with Heisman Trophy odds on the majority of legal betting sites: quarterback Shedeur Sanders and the multi-faceted Travis Hunter. Shedeur Sanders' Heisman odds started out slightly shorter than Hunter's but have since dropped.

Travis Hunters' Heisman odds are now at a point where he's considered a lock to win the award. With odds of -10000, this comes out to an implied probability of 99.0%.

CU Football Schedule

Here is the full 12-game regular season Colorado football schedule for this season. Looking at the Week 12 matchup against Utah, the betting lines have completely flipped in Colorado's favor. When early odds were released for this game, Utah was listed as an 8-point favorite. As things stand today, the Buffs are 11.5-point favorites. The Utes had climbed as high as No. 10 in the AP Top 25, but have been unranked since Week 7.

Regardless of what happens the rest of the year, Colorado will be headed to their first bowl game under head coach Deion Sanders. While the exact game is not yet known, we've taken a crack at some hypothetical Colorado bowl game odds. This will be just the third time in the last 10 years the Buffs have been bowl eligible.

Colorado Buffaloes Next Game Odds

For Buffs fans, the next matchup for the Buffs will come when Colorado's bowl game is announced. This is slated to happen on December 8, and Colorado will find out their opponent for their first bowl game since the Alamo Bowl in 2020. The Buffs will be searching for their first bowl game victory since winning the Houston Bowl in 2004.
