Colorado Buffaloes vs Colorado State Rams Prediction & Picks - NCAA
by Travis Pulver in NCAA Picks
Deion Sanders will try to get his team above .500 when his Colorado Buffaloes take on the Colorado State Rams at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, CO, at 7:30 p.m. ET (on CBS). The Rams nearly upset the Buffs last year in Boulder despite being 24.5-point road dogs. But Colorado mounted a comeback to force the game into OT, where it won 43-35 in 2OT.
The betting line is not as heavy in Colorado's favor this time, with the Buffs favored by a touchdown (-7). If Shedeur Sanders, who left the Nebraska game early after taking a blow to the head. However, while Coach Prime seems confident he'll play, his other son, Shilo, is out with a forearm injury.
Colorado comes into Saturday's game after a humiliating loss to Nebraska that saw several players leave injured. Is the season already shaping up to be a repeat of last year? Are the Buffs ready to nosedive not even three weeks into the season? Or will they "get right" against their in-state rivals and get the season back on track?
Fans and bettors can find out on Saturday night.

Our Colorado Buffaloes vs Colorado State Rams Prediction
Despite the mountain of hype surrounding Deion Sanders and the Buffs, the team has a ton of holes. What it does have, however, is a solid secondary (even without Shilo Sanders), an excellent quarterback, and Travis Hunter. They will throw the ball early and often. Even though the Rams will know it's coming, they cannot stop it. Colorado State's 300+ yard passing day in last year's game was a fluke. Colorado will get its second win of the season.
Our Colorado vs. Colorado State Prediction: Colorado -7
