Also think the OC change is gonna play a bigger part than people think. That game was early enough that Sean Lewis was still able to draw up a good offense before Deion put him in the dog house. Now they have caveman Pat shurmur giving his first try at calling a college offense.

Excellent point. I think Lewis is the only reason they won games last year. His scheme mitigated the fact that Colorado doesn't have a run game and was very poor at OL, things that haven't changed much. Look at the offensive production under Shurmur at the end of the year, pretty pedestrian.

Not to shit on your point, but I still think CU probably wins that game last yr even with Shurmur.

As I recall watching it, our D was basically gassed due to Sims's mistakes and inability to move the ball. I think if we fix that that's the much bigger factor.

BUT if I rewatched it, maybe I feel differently. I do think Lewis called an A+ game vs TCU and NU. You'd think it'd be hard for Shurmur to equal that.

You are probably right, hard to win any game with a -3 Turnover differential.

I get ya. And this Raiola as Neo theory might actually turn out to be correct, but I'm not factoring that into my prediction.

I will likely pick Nebraska for the following reason: we were very even with them last year (until our QB imploded) and almost every single variable that has changed from 2023 to 2024 is in Nebraska's favor.

Changes from 2023 game:
1. Home field (adv NU)
2. NU offense better (adv NU)
3. NU QB better (adv NU)
4. NU WRs way better (adv NU)
5. CU OC slightly worse (adv NU)
6. CU loses Edwards (adv NU)
7. CU mystique lessened/they went 4-8 (adv NU)
8. NU 2nd yr of a proven HC (adv NU)

I see Nebraska as the better team by maybe -7 to -8 on a Vegas score sheet. I just don't see where CU upgraded enough to change my calculation.

The only way I'd pick CU is if I was convinced that Raiola is going to contribute to 3 or more turnovers. I do think Dylan will have his share of turnovers this year but I think he'll do enough in the CU game to get the win. He'll at the very least be a big improvement from Sims. And even with Sims we were fairly even with CU until he started throwing the game to pay off his bookie. I just don't see where CU has improved enough to make me like them to win a huge road game like this.

Huskers -6.5 as of today on Draft Kings. I expect Nebraska to beat UTEP in the 42-10 range. I think CU beats NDSU like 45 - 34. The spread will likely remain close to that going into game week, barring any major injuries or scandals.

You forgot to mention that despite only being around -6.5, the Skers beat the piss out of the Buffs and cover easy...

That line will be fascinating bc if (when) Dylan throws for 4 TD passes vs UTEP, it would normally go up to -10 after a week of hype for NU/Raiola. But Buff nation will be betting the shit out of CU so it probably won't budge much. What would be awesome is if those morons bet it down to like -4.5.
