As expected Nebraska got a little boast from their 33 point win from the spread before the season kicked off.
Over/ Under is 60.5..

I bet the line keeps going up. I could see it being -9 by Saturday. We'll see. One thing that is interesting to me is that Nebraska is in a much better mindset than they were a year ago. And we're at home. Colorado seems to have kept that same negativity that plagued them really since Oregon spanked them last year. And Colorado seems pretty undisciplined.
I'm not saying that the game won't be close-- CU has some great individual talent. But if Nebraska plays it's game and doesn't beat itself, Big Red is going to win.
Having said that, I may place a small wager on CU with the points as insurance for my future sanity.

I admit I did that last year using reverse psychology, hoping to lose $100.
Not knowing last year what to expect after Colorado upset TCU.
This year I feel a total different vibe knowing we have a competent quarterback that is poised beyond his years and better WR and RB rooms..
If we get off to a fast start it could be a run away..
I've bet against NU fairly often over the past 10-15 years but only when we're favorites or underdogs with smaller spreads. Mostly road games and home games against good teams in games that I think our team is going to have its hands full. But the amount has to be small enough that it doesn't get me rooting against our team (wanting them to win but not cover). As you might imagine the way the past 10 years have gone, there's been a lot of times where I've asked myself "why didn't I bet more" as our team stacked up another loss.
This is going to be a clash of team cultures. CU embodies everything that is associated with the bad stereotypes of big time sports: arrogant and entitled coach and athletes. Rude, obnoxious, and clueless fan base. They are like the Cobra Kai of the college football world.
NU is more or less the opposite (although we do have some similar fans).
If there is any justice in the world we will win this without having to rely on the crane technique.

It will certainly be interesting. I think we are in that game last year if HH would have started. No, I’m not taking bribes from Kong. Poor Sims-Physical specimen who couldn’t handle the pressure.
Deion wears that cowboy hat for a reason. As they say in Texas he’s all hat, no cattle.
Doug Gottlieb: “Shedeur is good, better than advertised. Obviously, Travis Hunter is amazing and those two guys are really good football players, but at the end of the day their defense isn’t very good, they can’t run the football, and they’re kind of soft. Shedeur is good, but it feels like the whole deal is just set up for him to be a star so he can win a Heisman Trophy and be a high draft pick. It’s not set up with the idea of ‘HEY, LET’S WIN A BUNCH OF FOOTBALL GAMES, LET’S GRIND IT OUT, LET’S BE TOUGHER, LET’S BE NASTIER, LET’S BE MEANER!’... That’s not how they play.”
Many things trending our way. The only thing that concerns me is that it’s not an ideal matchup (their passing game vs our secondary). Only one sack yesterday also gives me pause. Anyone know how many Qb hurries we had?
We could be better than them overall (and I think we are) but still have a long night if we can’t pressure Shedeur.

Don’t think Tony White showed all his hand yesterday, but we did sack Shedeur 8 times for 65 yards last year..
The Puffs were lucky to beat North Dakota State. We should be able to win this one.
The thing that makes Sanders dangerous is that he's very good, has a great compliment of two excellent receivers. But, the main thing is, he can take as many chances as he wants because it's not like he's gonna get benched.
I think in Coach Prima donna's mind, given the choice of Shadeur throwing 20-25 with 2 tds and a win, or 30-40 with 5 td's and a loss, he'll take the loss all day long.
NDSt didn’t have the athleticism on defense that NU has and Colorado controlled the majority of the second half..
A win will go a long, long way for this program
Not sure we’ve ever needed one more
Not sure we’ve ever needed one more
Can’t disagree with you on that especially since we have 3 game losing streak against them..
Don't agree with this at all. Prime is just as much about himself as he is about his son....2TD's passing and a win is a win for both and sets em up to go 8-4 (ish) and they'd wite stories about that kind of turn around and give Prime most of the credit. He'll take a win any way they can get it. Just like us.
I guess tcu was an upset but they were totally overrated
I wouldn't care if we were up by 30, I'd still like to see them use the crane technique. Hell, I wouldn't even mind seeing them sweep the leg.
Just pour it on for 3 quarters, once we’re up by 4-5 TDs. Bring HH at QB to just punish that soft ass defense for another 15 minutes. 56-17 Red.
You may be right. I tend to favor rushing 3 and blitzing one from various spots. Or just rushing four with our best pass rushers in the game. The reason being that I think running a two deep scheme would take away a lot of big play risk-- like that long pass down the sideline with our DB struggling to keep up or the quick out with our DB locked up one on one and missing the tackle.
BUFFS are undisciplined. I predict there will be an unsportsmanlike conduct at least one, that will take the volume and tenacity of Memorial Stadium to eleven. This fanbase is ready to stomp CU. Let's Go!
I’ll take a one pint win, in a heartbeat.
I’m 100% in favor of sacrificing 15 yards early on to send a message to Hunter/Sanders, and I hope the first time Shiloh tries his cheap shit that an OL knocks him on his ass.
This Colorado team is completely carried by momentum and confidence. I believe they were a good team coming into and leaving Lincoln last year. Colorado State knocked them down a peg when they showed they were willing to go blow for blow, then Oregon ground them into the dirt when they came in and smacked them in the mouth.
Break their confidence early and they’ll completely collapse like last season.

and that 5 point win can't be good for confidence vs beating TCU.
I disagree, respectfully.
Fear is the anticipation of irrational pain. If you show someone that you’re willing to hurt them even if it hurts yourself, you can truly instill fear because you have established that there is no limit.
The Legion of Boom era Seahawks were masters of this technique
So what are you saying, allow Hunter to push you away when the pass is coming? Get thrown down like a DB from NDSU did? Are you saying be soft like that
Would be great if our db’s could jam the shit out them at the line.
Maybe Dom should reach out to Coach Sanders this week. Maybe send him the tape of what a previous CU team did to Adrian. Let him know he will be held responsible for any late or dirty hit to DR.
And NO I am not in the camp of sending messages through late hits. BE PHYSICAL within the rules and bring it every play every tackle, yes! Block Hit and Tackle them until they fold like a chair, yes!
Play dirty?? **** That, don't let that be part of the narrative next Saturday when the rest of the nation takes notice.

Complete opposite. To the point that I’m actually baffled you were able to interpret it that way.
Hard rock is giving me Nebraska-6.5 so had to jump on that . Went ahead and took Texas -6.5 as well
that is what I initially said and you said you disagree with me. So why are you baffled?
this is the part I disagree with
the need to be physical is a given, it’s a physical sport
When CSU took Travis Hunter out of the game last year, it quite literally broke Colorado for the rest of the season. They squeaked by that game (with plenty of ref help) then got their shit pushed in by most of the conference
