The Colorado State Rams (0-1) and the Colorado Buffaloes (2-0) meet on Saturday at Folsom Field in Boulder. Kickoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we look at Colorado State at Colorado odds from BetMGM Sportsbook. Also see: SportsbookWire’s college football picks and predictions.
The Rams got off to an inauspicious start, falling 50-24 to Washington State in Fort Collins on Aug. 2. The team had a bye last Saturday, getting 2 full weeks to prepare for the Coach Prime experience in Boulder.
Colorado State was gouged for 556 total yards of offense, and 466 yards through the air, which doesn’t bode well for facing Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders, who already has completed 69 of 89 passes (77.5%) for 903 yards, 6 TD and 0 INT in just 2 games.
After a high-scoring game at TCU in the opener, CU was much better defensively against Nebraska at home Saturday. It allowed 341 total yards, while limiting Big Red to just 119 yards through the air. Colorado also forced 4 turnovers, winning the turnover ratio battle with a plus-3.
Colorado is No. 22 in the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll.
