Colorado is entering this game with a 1-7 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 5th home game of the season as they are 1-3 in their home games this year. This will also be the 5th conference matchup on their conference schedule this season as they are 1-3. They lost against the Arizona State Sun Devils in their last game at home 42-34. J.T. Shrout started that game at QB and he completed 13/34 passes for 222 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Deion Smith led the team in rushing with 111 yards and 1 TD on 24 carries.

Trevor Woods came away with the only interception for them while no one on the defense recorded a sack in that one.

The current betting odds have Colorado listed as a 31.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Colorado has been terrible this year with only 1 win in 8 games this season but they have been playing a lot better since firing their head coach and they will put up a fight here at home against the team at the top of the PAC-12 right now. Oregon has been great all year with only 1 loss this season and that loss came against Georgia, but Oregon has played much better in their home games and their defense really hasn't been as good on the road. The Colorado offense is not getting shut out in their home games and they are actually moving the ball well and scoring some points when they play at home. Oregon is a very good team but even Bo Nix has not been as good on the road this season and this is a lot of points for them to win by, especially if Colorado scores some points here. The best way to place a bet here is on Colorado to cover the spread in this game.

"I think it's hard to stop our team right now when we're consistent and operating at a high level, regardless of really who the opponent is. When we did get stopped, it was really more so us stopping ourselves. Jack Plummer threw for 214 yards and one TD for Cal.” - Dan Lanning after his team’s win against Cal in their last game.

 

 

"You think about the scoreline being 42-20. What's happened throughout the course of the year when the scoreline looks like that? That's why a lot of people left. But I'm going to tell those people that left that this team's going to fight to the very end and there will be a breakthrough. I believe that." - Mike Sanford after his team’s loss against ASU in their last game.
