2019 Buffs Football hype thread

Starting to get tingly for football season...there's NO EXCUSE for CU to not beat little brother and the nubs this year.
 
You think CU will be favored over Nebraska? I see Huskers as a tough out, even at home.
Assuming Nebraska handles South Alabama and CU handles CSU in week one, I think Vegas will have Nebraska as a very slight favorite (maybe -1 or -2). It's in Boulder, but Nebraska is going to be ranked, coming off a 4-2 second half in 2018, with a top 10 Heisman candidate at QB, and CU is coming off 0-7 and has a first time head coach.
 
Records from last year & hype aren't going to help the Nubs win in Boulder. They have to actually show up to play and we will beat them!

We were talking about who will be favored. I believe they will be favored, which is perfectly fine by me. This program has typically shrunk over the last decade when they have actual expectations or are considered favorites.

The unit match-ups favor Nebraska. I think they will be favored. I don’t see CU rolling the Huskers by any stretch. Will be fun. I have my ticket.
 
Idk about dem apples. Nebraska is having a really hard time (desperate almost) replacing Ozigbo and Morgan Jr. Until proven otherwise, I think we are at least a push at RB (even with our present question marks there) and we are above and beyond better, bigger, and deeper at WR (even if you don’t think we are that strong at WR).

They are better at TE and probably better at OL, although I think early season starting OL is closer to a push. Adrian Martinez will have to save their OL a bunch this year (which he will).

Their DL and OLB >>> but we are better at ILB. Secondary is a push until they prove it’s better than ours (which is a potential massive issue for us).

They beat a TERRIBLE Michigan State team with a horrible backup QB, Ohio State made just enough mistakes not to blow them out of the water, and they lost to Iowa. I’m not impressed with how they ended the season yet, especially when so much of it came on relying on Ozigbo who is no longer there.

You think -1 or -2? I’m betting that line will be closer to a TD. They’ll be selling the Buffs all season.

Have to remember that the line is not about how much better a team is than an opponent, it is about balancing the betting totals so regardless of outcome Vegas makes money.

Usually because of the national money the line is fairly accurate but some schools tend to be overvalued.

Nebraska is one of those schools that draws a lot of money regardless of how they actually compare to the opponent. Usually that betting balance is good for at least 1-2 points sometimes even more.

Heard one pro talking about how he loved to bet against the corn because it was like getting free points.

Senior QB, top 3 WR in the country, home game which is typically worth 3 points in the betting lines. I think the perception could be close to a TD advantage for Nubs, but being on the road will drop the line, IMO. I think a lot is going to ride on how both teams look in week one against inferior opponents.
 
It's going to be more like -7. See Mtn's post above. The nubs are going to be a tough out mainly due to their D and O lines.
 
You gonna post yours? I took Clemson over for season wins. Third year in a row. Only bet so far.

I will post on occasion and am happy to engage via DM with you or others to discuss serious sports betting. Mostly I was hoping for some of the experts weighing in on the CU-nuh lines to post their picks so I have fade material.

Solid logic.
