Colorado Buffaloes Odds: National Championship, Playoffs, and More
It's a new era for Colorado as they lost Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter to the NFL. There are several Colorado football odds to track, most as they try to move on without them. All of the odds below have been pulled from bet365 Colorado.
| 🏆 Colorado to Win National Championship | +50000 |
| ⭐ Colorado to Make the Playoffs | +2500 |
| 🥇 Colorado to Win the Big 12 | +3500 |
| 🏈 Win Total | 5.5 Games (preseason total) |
| ✅ Odds Last Verified | September 15, 2025 |
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?
Yes. They can. But the odds are not the best. The Buffaloes currently have +2500 odds, or a 3.85% chance, to make the playoffs this season.
Colorado Football Odds to Win Big 12
Colorado has +3500 odds to win the Big 12 this season, which translates to a 2.78% chance.
Colorado National Championship Odds
Colorado has +50000 odds to win the National Championship, which translates to a .20% chance. This does not bode well for them, as many don't believe the Buffaloes will do much this season.

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.
Don't forget to look for the best Colorado sportsbook bonuses before placing any wager on the Buffs. Although the promos you see below are reserved for new users, any operator worth its weight will have ongoing offers available for existing customers throughout the football season.
