Cool offering(s) via BetOnline with Colorado.

...
CU +5.5 vs Oregon St
...
I'm really tempted to pick up this line just now.

Oregon St. is by far a better team than Colorado.
The trouble is that the game is in November :D Too much variance.

I saw 3.5 in a couple spots yesterday. Now back to 3 everywhere. I’m waiting as I like Nebraska and I don’t think this line can hold when all the Saturday morning money comes poring in on prime time.
+3.5 is a good number IMO.

Not sure if this game will have further movements. Maybe a huge investment from sharp bettors? IDK

will look for the sportsbook giving the best line/odds and bet on 3.5

I can see why you’re taking a pass. However, the books cannot take a pass. They have to post a line. And with the money pouring in on prime time, they’re gonna have to move it eventually. At some point, Nebraska is a must play.

This game is definately very interesting pertaining to the line. Last week the Huskers were -7 1/2 on the look ahead line and taking money. After the Colorado win, TwinSpires opened the line at Colorado -1 1/2 and the line quickly moved to -3 1/2. Now its toggling between -2 1/2/-3 1/2.

will he Rhule again as a road dog?

Matt Rhule might be the best underdog coach in America covering again as a dog in Minnesota. He's now lifetime 35-15 ATS as a dog and his L2 teams (NEB and BAY) covered 10 of 11. All-time as away dog = 19-8 ATS and if opponent is ranked outside the top 17 or unranked they are 16-4 ATS. He had a bad Temple team to turn around in 2014 so toss that season out and his teams are 15-1 as away dogs vs unranked or barely ranked with 7 outright wins.


coach = Matt Rhule and DA and (o:rank = None or o:rank > 17) and season != 2014

there is a reason the big books would not offer the hook on +3

Big money is coming in on NU and line down to +2, +114 ML.... +2.5 at best now at the square books

There is no way CU covers this game. Down to -2.5 now. There is more money on CU than all 32 teams, but they moved from -3 to -2.5. Yeah, that totally makes sense. it's time to unload on Nebraska.

No way Colorado "lets down" after the win, the kids will be jacked up for their first home game after establishing themselves vs TCU. The Colorado fans will be pumped.

Sure it is a shorter week for Colorado but they will be in the altitiude, with which their systems have adjusted, and Nebraska cannot in their short stay.

Nebraska QB Sims (from GT) is not a good passer at all, he is a run first QB, made some big mistakes vs Minny, I think Colorado will be able to deal with him.

I do not think the line is an overreaction, Prime Time brough in 86 new players and it is a totally different team from 2022.
Do you know that they have pressurized Oxygen canisters now that they breath in to saturate their system. It takes a few seconds now.
The altitude may not have the effect you may have thought.
FWIW.

No shit? What are your thoughts? I watched the Nebraska/Minnesota game and Nebraska looked putrid. And, of course, Colorado looked stellar. I read an article about Nebraska and it was talking about how Nebraska barely even has an OL. It said they were basically asking people to "volunteer" to play on the O-Line. It surprises me that they are -7 before week 1
Nebraska shut down a solid Minnesota team at home with 15 returning starters that averaged 28pts per game and had one of the best defenses in all of the top 25 allowing only 14 points per game last year.

What you watched was two solid teams playing at a neck and neck level that either team could have won in a 13-10 game. I will say there was no bad team in the game.

Colorado has one of the worst defenses and allowed 42 points to a team with an offense that lost 8 starters and a highly productive QB.

Nebraska should be laughing all the way to the bank against that Buffalo defense.
The Huskers defense could very well hold Colorado to 21 points which would be half of what Colorado scored on a radically weakened TCU team.
 

Never bet against America.

Decided not to touch this game but gonna have a nice laugh if Nebraska doesn't cover. Way too many people act like it is a done deal Nebraska covers here.
Nice laugh but no touch? Sounds personal.

Prepare for Nebraska to muck this game up with heavy jumbo packages and wear down CU. They'll shorten this game and kill the clock
