Way-too-early game predictions for Colorado football’s 2025 season

Now that we have finalized dates for Colorado football’s 2025 schedule, it’s becoming easier to make some way-too-early predictions for next season. Head coach Deion Sanders’ squad will likely undergo another round of changes courtesy of the spring transfer portal window, but many of the Buffs’ biggest pieces are seemingly already in Boulder.

Week 4 vs. Wyoming Cowboys

Prediction: WIN

Wyoming was an absolute mess last season, winning only three total games in head coach Jay…
