Colorado vs. Nebraska Betting Preview

Sanders and Travis Hunter looked every bit like Heisman hopefuls and potential top picks in the NFL draft as they propelled the Buffaloes to a 31-26 win over FCS North Dakota State in the season opener last Saturday.  It wasn't always pretty though as the revamped offensive line allowed pressure and the defense still has some tightening up to do.

“I know you guys couldn’t wait to get on me if we wouldn’t have won,” coach Deion Sanders said after the game Thursday night as he began Year 2 in Boulder. “Some of you get upset that we got a ‘W’ and are really mad we didn’t get the ‘L.’ So God bless you all. You have to wait again till next week.”

The Cornhuskers beat UTEP more convincingly, 40-7, in their season opener. Raiola passed for 238 yards and two touchdowns in his college debut.

“I’ve been waiting for this since I was 8 years old,” Raiola said. “I tried to take it all in — not be like tough-guy football player. You’ve got to be human and enjoy this scene. Yeah, it’s a lot of fun. The fans showed out like I knew they would.”

“I just look at this as a really good football test for two teams,” Huskers head coach Matt Rhule said ahead of Saturday's game against Colorado. “Two teams that have plans on being good teams and want to be relevant at the end of the year. They’re going to play us and we’re going to play them, and we’re not even in the same conference. So, while I know it matters to people and it matters to us and it matters to them, we’re going to see where we are.”

Colorado has won the first three of four games in the home-and-home series with the Huskers, including 36-14 in Boulder last year. The Buffaloes finished the season with four wins and the Huskers with five.

The line on this game has hovered between Nebraska -6.5 and -7. There is an underlay here, according to Sagarin, which has the line at 8. That has been beneficial to the favorite in our model.
