OK, who is taking Colorado over Nebraska in week 2??

[tabascojet]

I wouldnt pick either...but I would sure take the over

 

[Wamu]

And I heard up to 25,000 folks in red are showing up in Boulder which is half the stadium capacity.

25,000 is a little less than half the capacity (53,000+). This tiny town's crowded enough. It's gonna be a zoo this weekend once the Huskers fans arrive.

I GUARANTEE a LEAD-PIPE SHOE-IN:

Nebraska by 20

I've been back and forth on this one since the spread dropped to Nebraska -3.5.

It opened Nebraska -7.5, was quickly bet down to Nebraska -5, and has now been bet down to Nebraska -3.5.

I'd have certainly taken CU at the -7.5 and even the -5.

I will take CU in pickem's for 1 point, just for the win/win jinx factor, but the harder I look at it (involving real $$) I am pondering taking the Huskers at -3.5 at the casino. I will wait until Friday to make that decision in hopes of getting an even -3. I will surely take the Huskers if it gets to -2.5 or lower.

My rationale is the harder I look at CU, I'm seeing them being a one trick pony (a la Rondale Moore and Purdue), but with Laviska Shenault.

Rondale went off on Ohio St for 170 yds and 2 TD's.
Since then Purdue is (2-5) overall with an opening loss to a G5. Rondale doesn't catch anyone by surprise anymore. Take him out of the game and Purdue is back to being Purdon't.

Since Shenault went off on Colorado St (211 yds), Nebraska (177 yds), UCLA (126 yds), and Arizona St (127 yds) to start last season, CU is 1-7.

Game plan to keep players like Moore and Shenault from having big games and Purdue/Colorado become well below average teams.

Colorado is going to have to run the ball to win this game. Their rushing offense was 99th last season.

Colorado had a good rushing output last week (243 yds) in their (52-31) win, but Colorado St's rushing defense was 113th last season. Shenault had 3 catches for just 48 yds/1 TD.

I don't think Nebraska should be favored in this game. That they are and the general consensus that CU not only covers but wins outright, pushes me even further towards taking the Huskers. The money-line has obviously been CU (-7.5 >> -3.5), and Vegas wasn't built on winners.

I did in my Pickems.

Sorry Nebraska




How wrong am I???

Not only did I take CU in Pick'ems, but I think I put a 7 on them.

Took CU in the Eliminator Thread as well.

3/4ths of those 25,000 already live here, unfortunately.

 

[Red_Alert]

Keep an eye on that -3.5.

It's not uncommon for sharps to make a lot of small wagers to get the spread where they're more comfortable dropping big bucks.

If that -3.5 quickly goes back up to -4, -4.5. or even -5 between today and Friday, then the sharps are comfortable with where they got it and pounced.

If it continues on the down trend to -3, -2.5, etc, then sharps aren't on it.

I would be extremely tempted to take Colorado in that spread, but Frost is a dangerous man that knows Colorado well.

Smart choice.

Oooooooooo, in the eliminator thread. That could be the jinx right there.

What was CSU's pass game against Colorado? CSU threw for 372 yards and 3 TDs.

Colorado's defense is bad. they allowed 31 points to be scored on them. If CSU did not turn the ball over, CSU could have won the game, because the Colorado defense was not stopping them. CSU had 2 INTs and 2 lost fumbles.

Now, ask the question, can Adrian throw the ball? yes, yes he can. OK, so we know that if Martinez is given time to throw, he will kill the CU defense.

The big question is, will the Nebraska center still suck and will the O line suck because the Nebraska center is sucking.

if you watch the game, I won't be as I am moving my son into a downtown Chicago apartment, and if the Nebraska center is Cam Jurgens the entire game, then Colorado wins. Cam is starting, but if he gets yanked and there is no improvement in the Oline play, Colorado wins. if the Nebraska Oline plays just as an average O line, Nebraska can win the game. If the Nebraska Oline fixes the bad snaps, and plays well, Nebraska wins big.

By my reckoning, that is 50% CU wins, 25% coin flip, 25% nebraska wins.

Kiszla: Give Huskers a hug, Colorado. After CU football team reveals Nebraska as top-25 fraud, they're going to need it.

I took CU plus 4 and over 64. O also took CU in my upset parlay.

Did you watch Nebraska last Saturday. Can their Defense score that many points again???

I watched last years' Neb vs Colorado game in Norman, after watching your Sooners pound UCLA....that was a damn good game & I'd expect this years' game to be very entertaining as well.

Can't wait for a Nebraska Vs OU matchups in 2021 & 2022....it'll feel like Thanksgiving break from my childhood

 

[pitman]

I took Colorado for one or two points

 

[tducey]

I have Nebraska winning but Colorado will make it close.
