Please, someone, tell me why we shouldn't ride the Colorado train...
They have Colorado State followed by Oregon and then USC. I have a good feeling they have a chance of going 5-0 but will they cover ATS 5 in a row? That's the real question here. Can they go 5-0 ATS this season? Vegas admitted of having issues putting together proper lines/spreads for Colorado so far. Any thoughts?
CU could sleep walk in this spot. I have my reasons and I will wait to see the first few drives to get involved. No Way I play CU, the problem is how Bad CSU was at home against Wazzu. 
CSU was down 36-3 before Wazzu quit.
CSU had a bye and CU is off 2 huge emotional wins with 2 huge games on deck. For this reason I am considering an upset CSU's way. I dont know how, but this situation is so bad for CU. I will not play the spread pregame.
It College football and CU is full of big news and big news stories. Small risk big reward. Crazy I know.
They probably blow out CSU or at least try to. College Gameday there, FOX back for a 3rd week in a row. SS Heisman talk with big numbers in this type of game.
+14.5 at the Ducks. Kinda lean Colorado. Not as high on Oregon as USC or UW. Colorado will play hard in this spot with all the off-season verbal jabs between the two coaches about changing conferences, not carrying that Colorado left, etc.
I think after an all out effort vs. the Ducks is when the depth issues along both lines starts to show more, and vs. USC is the right timing to hop off the CU train.
That’s my 2 cents and forecast for how this plays out.
Look ahead is the traditional school of thought but something tells me that Sanders is not looking ahead on any game, he preaches and teaches the opposite and he coaches the opposite. Maybe in a few years when the fizz has worn off he will be less intense but I dont buy the look ahead, every game is a prove it game for him and the team.
All you gents are giving good reasons why a
22-1 money line favorite should win and cover. good luck. 
If I were you I would leave this game off your parlay tickets.
I would love a CU loss here and then be extra motivated against Oregon and beat U of O in Duckland.
This team is volatile both ways. Not just because they beat TCU and Nebraska.
5-0 ? NOPE!!!!
College game day starts at 7 am and kick off is 8 pm local time. Sounds like a long day. Same for both teams right? Yea, No. No CSU hype and no one wants to hear about Norvell and CSU. They can kick back and get their rest.
This week isnt wake and play for CU, just the opposite. Lets see how they deal with all this extra time.
maybe CSU is terrible and flat. They did have a bye week in week 2.
CU has every reason to outup 50+ points here. Their D was amazing vs NU. Can they do it again? Against CSU? Is this -24 line a trap? Or are we being teased once again? Isn't this where Vegas makes their money? Maybe CSU not to win straight out but with the + makes sense here. It sounds too easy to dump the bankroll on CU in this spot. CU is hot, CSU is NOT... What gives...
CSU sucked in the first 3 quarter in week 1. If they play like that again, which why wouldnt they? On the other hand the 4th quarter score in their only game was 21-21.
CU is no doubt going to win here but just in case I bet the opposite at 11-1 odds. At 1-1 odds I dont want CSU and the points. CU can close that gap quickly if they are ready to play.
Shouldn't this line be higher?
@jtoler
Fact! That’s because they are still building this roster. It’s hard to get a feel for CU at this point. TCU played like last years very talented team with 1 on 1 matchups. That failed. Last week CU and Nebraska was 0-0 until CU scored with just over 4 minutes to go in the first half. CU has prime but the team has holes and flaws too.
problem once again this week it’s CSU and it could be over early. Their stats stunk for 3 quarters in week 1.
Weren't you saying Nebraska last week though?
What the point? are you trying to discredit my thoughts?
I had CU 7-1 against TCU and multiple units posted on the spread.
Yea i lost one unit back last week. If you tailed in week 1 your wouldnt be so judgmental this week. No big deal. I am getting a feel for them still at this point.
This Buff team is not 100% put together. I dont have to explain the talent, but they have not been exposed to lose a game to this point. They were difficult to forecast last week because I know the holes in their game are going to make it tough on them. I love CU as a dog, but I will not play CU at home against USC either.
This is another game that is difficult to forecast thats why I want to see some of the first quarter to see if CSU can gain any momentum.
CU has 5 years to elevate to BCS winners, they are not there yet. They can be exposed TCU showed out.
I am not a Buff hater or always going to be against them.
I will point out in all of college football this is historically terrible betting situation for all teams. We/I will find out a lot more as the season rolls along.
A big favorite that will be dog in their next 2 games means that they are not elite. After the last 2 wins we will see how CU does in a big line game with huge teams ahead.
Also interesting to ME this is a night game.
We will see.
I watch everything Deion and CU since Deion was hired.
I am not totally in on the team yet. All we have seen is 2 game and one was a nail biter exciting huge upset. Some people are on board because of the vibes and energy of all the games.
we have yet to see any trails and tribulations of losing. It’s coming. Probably not this week. We will see.
True. I just watched Travid Hunters you tube and he said what I was thinking. These early day games they didnt have to store energy. Night games is a whole ne thing. He mentioned it how night games are the most difficult for him. I believe it.
Eating a few meals, naps,, staying on a different time schedule. Game time night game is an adaptable they will have to find the hype and their zone again.
