Game Week - CSU

Our offense is better than CSU's offense, agreed?
Our defense is better than CSU's defense, agreed?

All we need to do is avoid playing special teams at all and we should be fine.

I don't no think this is how it works. Doesn't our Offense have to be better than their Defense?
And our Defense better than their offense? (This is the part that has me most "concerned")
* Special Teams - tru dat
 
Gonna be a good season!

Plati with the most plati of all stats on this week's game notes:

Once upon a time there was light in our life, now there’s only football in the dark … well, not really, though it will get dark for practice on August 21. For those wondering, the Buffaloes are 85-55-3 when any part of the United States has been fortunate to view a total eclipse of the sun (not partial or annular). Those previous years were 1900, 1918, 1923, 1925, 1932, 1943, 1945, 1954, 1959, 1963, 1970, 1972, 1979, 1990 and 1991.

Wilner is taking CSU this week (or at least the 4.5 points they're getting). His reasoning?
"Always pick against a team that’s opening its season against a team that has already played a game. Always."

Apparently, more talent and better coaching doesn't mean much; just whoever has already played a game.

It's arguable which team has the better offense. They've had a week to work out kinks, so makes sense to take the points here even though people I respect are betting on the buffs at -4.

I would like to see a statistical analysis of overall win% of teams with 1 game v teams with 0 games played.

I've also heard of people grabbing CSU where it's still at +6ish and teasing the line over 10.

Would have been a more respectable pick had he stated exactly what you did about the offenses being comparable, while adding the game in hand "advantage". I wonder if he'd pick CSU over USC in the same situation?

Well he's picking against the spread so if they were playing USC this week and getting +20 points then I suppose he could use the same logic to take CSU and the points.
 
COLORADO STATE VS. COLORADO (FRIDAY, 8 P.M. ET, PAC-12)

Eric Single picks Colorado State: The Rocky Mountain showdown almost always gets weird. The Rams opened up their new stadium with an impressive Week 0 win over Oregon State, and I think there’s real value in getting a week’s head start on the rest of the country without having to travel. Colorado is replacing the stars of last year’s defense, and CSU senior QB Nick Stevens and senior receiver Michael Gallup have the chemistry to carve up a green secondary and narrow the Power 5/Group of Five talent gap.

Gallup gets all the headlines (rightfully so), but I doubt he is the difference in the game. If CSU wins, it will be mostly likely be due to them gashing our defense in the run game IMO.

I agree. If their OL dominates, we will be in for a very long day and would have to be near perfect on offense.

Erroneous. Our secondary isn't green. We have 5 seniors and juniors on the two deep with extensive experience. Laguda, Moeller, and Oliver (and even Worthington) have played a lot of football at CU. Only Udoffia is untested. But reports are that he would've started even if Julmisse wasn't suspended. This is a lazy take by Single.
