00:03 - Let's be honest with ourselves.

00:04 If Deion Sanders never actually shows up

00:06 in Boulder, Colorado, this game is a footnote here.

00:09 But you know how big it's getting

00:10 with Colorado right now?

00:12 All the attention, you go to the

00:13 Fandul Sportsbook right now.

00:14 You go look at college football.

00:16 There is a tab that just says Colorado.

00:20 It is amazing how much eyeballs now

00:22 and how much fun we are having with the Buffaloes.

00:24 They sit as a 23 and a half point favorite

00:27 over Colorado State.

00:28 A total of 16 and a half.

00:30 All eyes on Colorado.

00:32 Now that you start to turn it to maybe the hunted team,

00:35 how do we react to Colorado?

00:37 Easy blowout victory this weekend.

00:38 Eyes on the horizon with much bigger challenges.

00:41 Talk to me, Colorado State and Colorado.

00:44 - DRS, you mentioned the much bigger challenges.

00:46 The first time we're really going to see

00:48 the Buffs challenge.

00:49 I thought it was going to be Nebraska last weekend.

00:51 Hand up, I was incredibly incorrect.

00:54 Is next weekend in Eugene.

00:56 Currently the Buffs a 14 and a half point underdog

00:59 against Oregon and those Ducks.

01:02 But here 23 and a half in favor of the Buffaloes.

01:06 DRS, you could make an argument that every game so far here

01:09 in the non-conference slate for Colorado

01:11 deserves the notoriety it has received.

01:14 The opener against the reigning national runner-ups

01:17 in TCU in Colorado makes a statement to open up the season.

01:21 The renewal of a big eight rivalry against Nebraska

01:24 in the home opener of the prime era

01:27 under Deion Sanders in Boulder.

01:29 And now a rivalry for the 92nd all-time meeting

01:33 between these two, it is Colorado and Colorado State

01:36 in the Rocky Mountain Showdown.

01:38 The first meeting DRS since 2019,

01:41 Colorado won that football game 52-31,

01:44 but things were a little bit better

01:46 for Colorado during that time.

01:48 They were a one-win football team, DRS.

01:50 Last season, they have already doubled that.

01:52 And you mentioned that Colorado tab

01:54 on the FanDuel Sportsbook.

01:56 They're one of a few teams in the country

01:59 that the odds makers continue to update the win total.

02:02 It is now six and a half, and the over has the juice.

02:05 DRS, I'm looking at the total in this game.

02:08 Colorado State has played one football game only.

02:10 They had a bye week during the second weekend last year,

02:13 but they played against another Pac-12 team,

02:15 a good Washington State team that is now ranked.

02:18 Wazoo put up 50 points against Colorado State,

02:23 and Cam Ward, the quarterback for the Cougs,

02:26 threw for 450 yards.

02:28 Shador Sanders has his passing yards prop

02:31 reflecting that this weekend, 338 and a half,

02:34 but I'm not sure who is stopping them, DRS,

02:36 after 5-10 against TCU, 393 against Nebraska.

02:41 We know this offense under Sean Lewis

02:43 opened things up through the air.

02:46 Keep an eye on Xavier Weaver, the transfer from South Florida,

02:50 83 and a half, his receiving yards number.

02:53 He has been over in both games, including a buck 70

02:56 last week against the Cornhuskers.

02:58 I think Colorado airs it out.

03:00 I think we see more points out of the buffs.

03:03 I think we see a total over, and I

03:05 would go Xavier Weaver over 83 and a half receiving yards

03:09 as my best bet.
