** 2024 Opponent Preview : Colorado (Game 2) **

I think we will need to win a 38-27 type game.   CU will hit some big plays and covert some long 3rd downs.   
 

2 obvious things that others are probably saying too, but NU will need to score over 30 on offense and on Defense abound then PI penalties and taking away the slants.  Sanders has shown he will just chuck the ball deep down the field basically hoping for a PI and saving the offensive drive.

Interesting.  Line was -7.5 preseason. Reopens at -5 after week 1.

We covered -27.5 and CU didn’t cover -10.5 week 1.

It'll be 3 by the end of the week. Money will flood in on CU. Bank on it.

MGM had it Neb-6.5 before our games and it just came back up at Neb-7.

I don’t doubt that there will be irrational money placed on the CU coach prime phenom but I don’t see any possibility of it dropping, especially anywhere near to -3. I sure hope it does though.

 
My theory on the line being weird compared to game 1 lines is a lot of people betting didn’t watch the game other than Sanders/Hunter highlights. And so they saw great plays but not how s#!tty the Colorado line play is, and are just dismissing the score as a fluke.

That was mostly me willing it to happen, so I can bet more. Speak it into existence!

It's kind of like the stock market. Some facts, some emotions and some voodoo.

 
ESPN GameDay (I know, I know, no one watches it, stop it)

Going to UT at Michigan.  Anyone else a little surprised?

I would get it Jim was still there or if I knew the kickoff time but Lincoln just seems like the place to be Saturday.

This game could be an absolute bloodbath.  
 

Even when SS got passes off, he was getting hammered.  Our D line is far superior to NDSU.

I also think that grind out Offense we saw Saturday will be a huge problem for CU.

It’s going to be a crazy atmosphere on Saturday.

All I want is a win, but I optimistic for a woodshed beat down.
