Colorado at Oregon – 2023 week 4
Coach Prime leads Colorado to face the Oregon Ducks. Could things get ugly for the visitors?
(19) Colorado x (10) Oregon / 3:30p EST on ABC
- ORE -20.5 / 70.5
Pregame Notes: Travis Hunter will not be able to play for Coach Prime as he was taken out in the first half against Colorado State. Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has 1,251 yards passing to go with 10 touchdowns and 1 interception. Ducks leader Bo Nix has 893 yards passing with 8 touchdowns and no picks.
Recently: One has to wonder how if this spread is more about Oregon being better than a team that had to rally to beat Colorado State, or if Travis Hunter matters that much to Vegas oddsmakers. Colorado allowed 42 points to TCU who had an entirely new offense, and 35 to Colorado State who scored 24 against Washington State the week before.
Bet using our friends at:
Pick: under 70.5
Logic: The Ducks average 229.3 yards on the ground per game. Colorado gives up 195.3 and only flaunts 61.0 of their own. This game could get ugly which would make Coach Prime & Crew eat a bunch of humble pie. In case of a later cover by Shedeur, I’ll go with the under 70.5 because I think the Ducks’ home defense can limit this young Buffs team.
