Best college football bets on Friday

A big conference tilt is happening in Houston with the Cougars hosting Colorado. Houston is 2-0 after blowout wins over Rice and Stephen F Austin, while Deion Sanders' squad is 1-1 and is in the midst of a quarterback controversy. Sanders started Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter for the first two games of this year, but reports suggest Ryan Staub, who was the third-string quarterback behind Salter and highly-touted recruit Julian Lewis, will start against Houston after he completed 7 of 10 passes with two touchdowns against Delaware. The Cougars are favored over the Buffs, but SportsLine's model is backing Colorado as a road underdog. The Buffaloes win this Big 12 tilt in 58% of simulations.

The final game of the day is in Los Angeles as UCLA welcomes New Mexico to town. It's been a nightmare start for the Bruins in Year 2 under DeShaun Foster as they're 0-2 after a blowout loss against Utah in Week 1 and a surprising loss to UNLV last week. New Mexico is 1-1 but feeling rather good entering this matchup as the Lobos beat Idaho State and hung with Michigan in Week 1. The Bruins are massive favorites at home this week, and the model has them winning in 87% of simulations.
