Storylines
Colorado
In the world of college football, no one is shining brighter than Colorado. In his FBS debut season, head coach Deion Sanders has transformed a program that was just 1-11 last year and has already secured a road win against a ranked team. The offense has been the highlight, led by Deion’s son, Shedur Sanders, who already has 903 passing yards and seven touchdowns. Notably, two-way player Travis Hunter has contributed both defensively and offensively, with an interception and 192 receiving yards.
Oregon
Expectations are high for Oregon, especially with Bo Nix returning for another year. The Ducks had one of the best-scoring offenses last season, and it looks like they can sustain that in 2023; they have scored 30 or more points in each game this season.
Prediction
This is going to be the first big test for Colorado, as we’ll find out if this team is for real or just all hype. This will be one of those games where each team will have to win by putting up a lot of points. Both have shown how offensively talented they are, both on the ground and in the air; they will each need to excel on both ends to win this game. Expect an exciting, high-scoring game.
We suggest: Colorado vs. Oregon Over 69.5 Total Points
