Pick: Colorado ML (-150)
Saturday afternoon is finally here and it is time for week number two of the college football season. This week takes us to Colorado. Where two old Big 12 Conference rivals will face off for the first time in a few years. As the Nebraska Cornhuskers hit the road to play the Colorado Buffaloes, and Nebraska will be looking to pick up a huge upset in the second game of the season against coach Prime in Colorado. Nebraska found a way to lose last weekend, and I will be looking to pick up their first victory of the season here in this one and Colorado will be looking to build upon their top 25 upset of last year’s national runner ups, TCU.
Nebraska will be looking to do something this weekend that they have failed at 21 separate times over the last seven seasons. As they will be looking to pick up a victory over a team ranked inside of the associated press top 25. It has been a long stretch of bad football from this once historic Nebraska football program, and they hired Matt Ruhle in the off-season hoping that he would be the guy to finally turn things around. It seemed as if they had a victory against Minnesota last weekend to open up the season before Nebraska found a way to lose once again with a late interception that led to a game winning field goal for Minnesota.
Nebraska will also be looking to break a two game losing streak to Colorado in a series that they have historically dominated. Over the last several seasons, both of these teams have had some down years, but at the moment Colorado is still finding ways to pick up victories over their rivals when they meet on the football field. Nebraska will be looking to pick up one of the bigger victories in recent memory in this series as they look to upset a nationally ranked Colorado team that comes into this game with plenty of hype after the huge victory in the opening game of the season. Matt Rhule will also be looking for his first career victory as the head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers as well in this one.

Colorado made a lot of changes after only winning a single game last season. They paid big money to bring in Deion Sanders as the head coach of this program, and they trust him with turning around this once historic program. They were huge underdogs when they opened up the season last week against TCU and they shocked the country with an incredible performance to open up the year and picked up a massive victory. Deion Sanders made a massive overhaul of the roster over the off-season and so far things have paid off as former number one overall recruit, and two way player, Travis Hunter looks like an early Heisman favorite.
Meanwhile, Deion Sanders' son looks like the quarterback of the future for this Colorado program for at least this season and potentially next season as well. They will be looking to pick up a second consecutive victory and already double their win total from last season with another quality performance here on Saturday afternoon at home. Colorado comes into this game as the betting favorites as they are favored by nearly 4 points on the spread and they will be looking to continue their solid start to the season with another quality victory over a fellow struggling program, in Nebraska. Guys like Travis Hunter and Sanders will both be looking to add to their early-season Heisman campaigns as well after incredible performances to open up the 2023 college football season last weekend against the Horned Frogs of TCU.
Betting trends to consider in this matchup:
- Nebraska is 0-21 against top 25 teams since 2016
- Colorado won the last 2 out of 3 meetings at home
- Colorado has won the last two games against Nebraska
I expect Colorado to pick up their second consecutive victory of the season with another quality performance here on Saturday afternoon at home against Nebraska. As I expect the Colorado Buffaloes to pick up the victory here in this one to give Deion Sanders a 2-0 start to the season, as they look to keep the hype surrounding them alive.
