Oregon -21.5

Hmmm?

For Colorado to win either of their first two Pac-12 games without Hunter, quarterback Shedeur Sanders must continue his September Heisman-winning ways and his father Deion Sanders must have one helluva halftime speech or two up his sleeve. To take even one of these games with Hunter available would have been brilliant, but to potentially do it without him would be extraordinary.
So is there a pathway to win either game? Sure, why not? To beat Oregon in presumably liquid sunshine, the Sanders men must outshine Bo Nix and company offensively, as well as get the best of Dan Lanning's defense. Not the least bit probable, but possible. As far as beating Colorado at home, can you say shootout? Caleb Williams is a rockstar, but Alex Grinch's defense is an embarrassment.
Combined, Colorado has around a 25 percent chance to win either game, but next to zero to win both.

Deno you just don’t know football. As recently as 2016, Colorado went 10-4 and finished # 17 in the AP poll. You just don’t know the game. Colorado has won 26 conference titles and was the 1990 AP National Champion.

This is the week Colorado and Prime get humbled. Their lines aren’t great, which both NU and CSU exposed, and they are without their best player (with a lacerated liver on that BS late hit that should’ve been an ejection). I expect Shadeur to get his numbers, as Oregon’s D, like TCU’s, isn’t very good, so it should be high scoring. I think Oregon wins comfortably, but I would personally stay away from the spread.

Or I would tease the spread down to UO -14 and over 64. But the odds won’t be very good.

What does any of that have to do with Oregon laying 21.5?

I was responding to your ignorance above.

I agree with all that, the real play would be the over in this one.

Where did I say anything about Colorado's past? Talk topic not posters ok guy/

Buffs best years were in the 1990s. From 1988 - 2003 they never finished out of the 25 in the final AP ranking. Below is their final AP ranking by year. Six top 10 finishes and 4 top 5s in an 8-year stretch. No, they were not Alabama or Ohio State, but still pretty competitive in that period.

1988 16
1989 4
1990 1
1991 20
1992 13
1993 16
1994 3
1995 5
1996 8
1997 24
1998 24
1999 14
2000 23
2001 9
2002 20
2003 17

Not about once upon a time here talking about vs Oregon in a few days.

Sure, but the bigger question is can Deion bring the program to its best years. They will at least need to keep it close against the Ducks. Lose by 2 tds or less on the road while their stud is out won't look so bad. Get blown out by 50, it's a completely different narrative.

I’m just ready for the hype to die down on this CU team. Sports media has been obnoxious with the amount of attention focused on them. 20 posts a day it feels like. And the death threats to the CSU player for a dirty, but fairly bang-bang play. Come on, it’s getting cult-like. Alabama fans aren’t even this bad.

All that has to happen in 2023 is get in a bowl game, without Hunter which is a great excuse, they can't hang with Oregon/USC but don't really have to............this season.

Number 11 should have been kicked out of the game, hell, hauled off to jail. That was against the law not just football. Should feel sorry for the kid now but I don't..

There was nothing bang-bang about that. Don't agree with the death threats. But it was absolutely dirty and very unnecessary.

Careful there recruit . After Deion stands in the front room he will be looking to take your mother to the bedroom. True story according to a Prime Academy High School Student.

Hey I am not always a great speller but you spelled recruiting wrong.

Please! He went for his stomach/hip. More dangerous hits happen multiple times a game from peewee to NFL. The outrage is ridiculous. He got flagged as he should’ve, an ejection would’ve been fair but not completely obvious. The injury (liver laceration?) is a freak occurrence, Hunter even admitted he wanted to play through it but the docs pulled him. The pile driver Kamara gave Shedeur in OT was waaaay more dangerous and he was rightly ejected for it. I’m leaning on the refs call with this one.

Really guy?

The tv guy gets it,

Why do you continue to talk about subjects you know nothing about?

TCU over Colorado alone made you the rookie of the year.

Who here has talked Colorado football before Deion? Everyone that remembers their championship season, not to mention all their other winning seasons.

Idiots, sheesh!
