1. Colorado football wins by two touchdowns

The spread for this game almost makes no sense, but Vegas is baiting fans into believing that the Colorado win over TCU was a fluke.

As of Friday afternoon, the Buffaloes were 3-point favorites and that’s just a crazy low number for a team that just beat the No. 17 team in the country on the road and put up 45 points in the process. They now return home to face a Nebraska team that couldn’t muster any offense against Minnesota in a season-opening loss.

It just feels like this game is going to be lopsided and I tend to agree with that sentiment. The Buffaloes are going to win this one convincingly.

Colorado will jump out to a big lead and Jeff Sims will throw some bad picks (one to Cormani McClain and the other to Travis Hunter) which will lead to more scores and an extended lead.

The spread is 3.0 right now, but I expect Colorado to win this one by at least two touchdowns on Saturday.

Will I be wrong? More than likely, but I do expect a Colorado win.
