Colorado debuts in the newest AP poll at #22 and are now a 3.5 point favorite. I think they cover that and win by double digits.

I'll say Colorado 31-21.

Also possible that Colorado comes in a disorganized mess after reading how great they are all week. Not saying that WILL happen, just the Coach Prime needs to be careful to avoid it.

yeah that is definitely going to be the concern for Colorado, how the coaches will manage the emotions of 18-22 year olds coming off a HUGE win on the road vs a ranked team which let's face it- no one gave them a chance in- they were 21 point dogs to Vegas and everyone in the national sports media was picking against them. 

I think the fact that it's their home opener in front of their fans- that atmosphere is going to be electric and I don't see them having a let down in that environment. Plus that coaching staff is very experienced, Deion seems to have that team locked in and they have an experienced high level QB and leader in Shedeur.

I just don't see Nebraska having enough offense to keep up, Jeff Sims will make some big mistakes that will cost Nebraska and Shedeur will be efficient and surgical for Colorado.

don't see it. they just don't have the offense to keep pace with what Colorado has at QB/WR and Jeff Sims is just as likely if not more likely to make big plays for the other team as he is for his own team.

I was in Boulder for the first 11am start there since the Big 8. The crowd was large and boisterous, and the Gophers promptly took the starch out of them and never let them back in.

Wouldn't be the 1st time there was a big emotional let down.But it's in Boulder just hope it's another close one like last week. Be nice if someone practices some D tho

It'll be an interesting contrast in re-building techniques for 1st year coaches.  If Deon wasn't such of a one-of-a-kind phenomenon, I'd say it has the potential to change the sport.  Don't think the Huskers can win a shoot out with the Buffs. 

Nebraska  24
Colorado  52

Colorado coach Deion Sanders says he’s learned “the serious nature of this rivalry, and I’m embracing it 100%. This is personal. That’s the message of the week.”

If the Cornhuskers want another piece of Boulder after 2024, CU Buffs athletic director Rick George is game for a rematch.
“I would be very open to having a home-and-home (series) with Nebraska in the future,” George told The Denver Post recently when asked about future matchups with the Cornhuskers after the current four-game contract expires next fall.
CU is 2-0 over the first half of the series, winning 33-28 at Lincoln in September 2018 and rallying for a 34-31 victory in overtime at Folsom Field a year later. The Buffs host Nebraska at 10 a.m. Saturday and visit Memorial Stadium to complete the contract on Sept. 7, 2024.
Assuming CU’s previously-scheduled games with future Big 12 opponents are vacated, it would give the Buffs and Huskers matching open dates several times over the next 10 seasons.
