Our Colorado vs Colorado State predictions are backing the underdogs to cover against the wonky Buffs.
The Buffs' offense looked lost against the Cornhuskers in Week 2, and Colorado State's secondary should cause more of the same issues.The Rocky Mountain Showdown returns in Week 3 as the Colorado Buffaloes head to Fort Collins to face the Colorado State Rams.
Colorado State’s primary concern regards the health of Tory Horton, one of the country’s most productive receivers. He returned a punt 78 yards to the house a week ago but headed to the medical tent in the third quarter without return. The NFL prospect hauled in 16 receptions for 133 yards and a touchdown in last year’s matchup and is the focal point of the offense, so his health is paramount.
We know this game will mean a lot to Norvell, and I’ll bet on his team hanging close. Coach Prime will need to prove to me first that he’s ready to cover spreads against any opponent, let alone a fired-up rival. Colorado came well short of last week’s total in an uninspiring 28-10 loss to the Cornhuskers. Nebraska was content to sit on the ball because it wasn’t scared of what was coming back at it and didn’t want a true freshman QB to be put into risky situations.
The Rams averaged 13.2 ppg in his first year in Fort Collins in 2022, 26.1 ppg a year ago, and are at 19.0 ppg through two games this season. The rushing attack looks better than the passing attack early in the year, which is a surprise. The Rams are stronger in the secondary, returning three starters led by Jack Howell and Henry Blackburn to a unit that could be beaten on a down-to-down basis but was great at limiting big plays . The latter will be crucial in a matchup against Shedeur. : Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
