1. Colorado football will give up at least 50 points in a loss

While Oregon’s defense has been really effective this season, Colorado’s has not. The Buffaloes give up about 460 total yards per game and that’s just a recipe for disaster on Saturday afternoon in Eugene.

Colorado isn’t going to be able to stop Bo Nix and Bucky Irving will have a big game on the ground. There are just too many weapons on this Oregon offense for Colorado and that’s going to be the main difference in this game as the Ducks will win and cover the 21-point spread.

Not only will Oregon cover the spread, but it’ll approach the over on its own. Actually, I think the Ducks will score at least 50 points on Saturday afternoon thanks to a Heisman-like performance from Nix who will probably receive more hype after this game.

Colorado’s defense just won’t be able to slow this unbelievable Oregon attack that averages 587 yards per game.

If I’m going for a final score prediction, I’ll say 56-24 Oregon.
