Since Dion Sanders was hired at Colorado to take over a team that was 1-10 a year ago, the hype in Boulder may be at a record high. Sanders backed up his words with a stunning opening season road win at TCU. The offense looked unstoppable, but the defense has a long way to go. Colorado had a lot of breaks having intercepted two passes in the end-zone, and as good as the offense is, something else happened. There is now film on Colorado, and that preparation is going to slow down the Colorado attack, while the defense is there to be exposed. I also think that after all the lead-up to that game, and the depth of emotion on the field is going to have Colorado playing a bit cocky, as well as finding it hard to overcome all the emotions from last week. Nebraska held Minnesota to 251 total yards last week and lost. The biggest factor in the loss was Nebraska turned the ball over four times. That speaks highly of the defense, and going against an ultra-soft Colorado defense isn't going to be easy. I like Nebraska on the moneyline.

Pro Picks
Colorado at Nebraska
Colorado has the luxury of having a game under its belt while Nebraska still is 0-0 after having its game against Akron canceled due to stormy weather. The Buffaloes hammered Colorado State 45-13 on Friday night and have an extra day to prepare for this matchup. Quarterback Steven Montez was 22-of-25 for 338 yards and four touchdowns and he rushed for 41 yards and a touchdown. Also, Laviska Shenault Jr. finished with 11 catches for 211 yards while lining up in four different spots. K.D. Dixon also contributed with a 46-yard reception. Colorado had a net 258 rushing yards while holding the Rams to 103 yards on the ground. Nebraska lost its last four games of the 2017 season while allowing an astounding 197 points and the Cornhuskers return eight starters from that unit, which might not be a good thing. The Huskers are anxious to see what new coach Scott Frost can do to return the program to its glory days, but it's going to take awhile to get this squad back on track. Nebraska is 4-10 ATS its last 14 games and 1-9-2 ATS its last 12 home games. Colorado has covered the spread five of its last six games after a 20-plus point win. Nebraska is also starting a true freshman, Adrian Martinez, at quarterback. Grab the points with Colorado.
