With the Rams nearly pulling off the upset in Boulder last year, Douglas Farmer is taking the points with a highly motivated Colorado State program eyeing vengeance at home.
Last season’s matchup between the Colorado Buffaloes and the Colorado State Rams was one of the best games of the 2023 season, both on and off the field. Deion Sanders and Jay Norvell verbally sparred in the press beforehand, and then the double-overtime thriller kept many of us up late into Sunday morning.
A correction for Fowler-Nicolosi: That spread peaked at +24.5 at some books, most hanging at +23.5 come kickoff. However, his point stands, as Colorado State gave Colorado far more than it expected in that 43-35 double-overtime joyride. The Buffaloes needed a last-minute touchdown simply to force overtime.
Here’s what CSU’s Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi and Tory Horton had to say about last year’s Rocky Mountain Showdown and the upcoming game against CU:Watching the Rams this season, it’s clear they’ve been eyeing this matchup all along. A loss at Texas seemed inevitable even to the most optimistic Colorado State fan, while a win against FCS-level Northern Colorado was practically guaranteed before last weekend. The Rams were able to look ahead without altering their season’s trajectory.
If that secondary is frustrating Sanders, he will undoubtedly hone in on his most talented receiver, Travis Hunter. Do not be stunned to see this number climb anew on Saturday, likely to +7.5 and possibly, hopefully to +8. Colorado backers have bet late in the week thus far this season, specifically the mornings of games.
