Weber State at Colorado: Pass on the Spread and Total
Colorado hosts the Weber State Wildcats at Folsom Field on September 12, 2026, in the Buffaloes' home opener. The 2026 college football matchup is the programs' first meeting. Colorado enters 1-0, while Weber State is 1-1.
Colorado opened with a 14-13 victory at Georgia Tech. The Buffaloes rushed for 183 yards on 49 attempts, held possession for 34:09 and allowed 51 rushing yards on 30 carries. Their decisive 75-yard touchdown drive ended with 37 seconds remaining, and a blocked field-goal attempt preserved the win as time expired.
Weber State followed a 30-29 win over Northern Colorado with a 47-42 loss at Southern Utah. The Wildcats gained 464 total yards in that defeat but surrendered 514, including 368 on the ground, and committed two turnovers.
Colorado's rushing production and Weber State's difficulties defending the run make that matchup worth watching. Those performances came against different opponents, however, and do not establish how large Saturday's margin should be.
Freshman Nate Dahle made his first start against Southern Utah, throwing for 282 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 85 yards. Weber State played that game without quarterback Devin Brown, linebacker Raimoana Tiniruarii and receiver Tate Kjar. The available reports do not establish their availability against Colorado.
Colorado is priced at -12,827 on the moneyline and -34.5 (-110) against the spread. Weber State is +2,750 outright and +34.5 (-110). Both over and under 55.5 are listed at -110.
The favorite's price does not establish value. Colorado's 14-point opener and Weber State's high-scoring loss provide too little evidence to support a 35-point winning margin or a total projection. With player availability also unresolved, the recommendation is Pass. No winner or exact score is selected.
