Our Colorado vs. Nebraska predictions are taking the points with the Buffaloes after taking down this same team 36-14 a season ago.
Coach Prime's Buffaloes beat Nebraska by 22 points a season ago yet find themselves listed as 7.5-point underdogs when they take the field in Week 2.
The reaction in the betting market has been for Nebraska to move beyond a touchdown favorite as the line currently sits at -7.5 at the beginning of the week. That’s a touch too far in my opinion and I’ll grab the points with the visiting team as nothing has changed about my handicap for either squad after Week 1.
Say what you will about Coach Prime and his son, Shedeur Sanders, about their off-the-field antics. What you can’t deny is that the signal-caller has serious game. They looked vulnerable yet again in Week 1, so Nebraska should be able to move the ball. The Cornhuskers were awful on offense a year ago but return enough production that they should be considerably improved.
Nebraska was superb defensively a year ago but that didn’t stop Shedeur & Co. from scoring 36 points and accumulating 454 total yards in last year’s matchup. The Buffaloes still look like they’ll have trouble running the ball but Sanders and his star-studded receiving cast are too much for most teams to stop.
