Why Colorado Will Cover The Spread
Colorado will attempt to stay unbeaten on the power of its offense. Unsurprisingly, they have some of the best weapons at their disposal and players that can do damage all over the field.
Sanders has 1,251 yards passing with 10 touchdowns and just one interception. Meanwhile, his top running back, Dylan Edwards, has rushed 25 times for 136 yards with a 5.4 yards per carry rate. Edwards also has 14 receptions for 160 yards and three touchdowns. Additionally, Xavier Weaver has caught 25 passes for 386 yards and two touchdowns. Jimmy Horn Jr. has 26 catches for 246 yards and two touchdowns. Furthermore, the defense has some talent that is helping them.
Taijh Alston has generated three solo tackles and 1.5 sacks. Also, Marvin Ham II has gathered 15 solo tackles and one sack. Juwan Mitchell has added 14 solo tackles to his effort.
But the Buffaloes need a strong defensive effort to stop the Ducks. Ultimately, last season, they struggled early and could not stop the Ducks. They must find a way to prevent large gains through the air. Then, they must prevent easy scoring chances.
Colorado will cover the spread if their offense can generate points and also move the chains while keeping the Oregon offense off the field. Next, they must come up with a defensive game plan that prevents large disparities.
Why Oregon Will Cover The Spread
The Ducks continue to fly high and are firing on all cylinders. Therefore, they have started the season 3-0 and are one of the top teams in college football. Their offense is one of the significant reasons for this.
Nix has 893 yards passing with eight touchdowns while also rushing 11 times for 60 yards. Additionally, Nix has had help from a strong running game. Irving has rushed 27 times for 216 yards, while James has rushed 21 times for 155 yards and two touchdowns. Also, Nix has had great players to pass to. Franklin has 17 receptions for 292 yards for three touchdowns. Likewise, Gary Bryant Jr. has 11 catches for 159 yards and two scores. Johnson has caught 11 passes for 155 yards and three touchdowns.
The defense has excelled. Significantly, Popo Aumavae has four solo tackles and two sacks. Tysheem Johnson has 15 solo tackles and one sack. Jeffrey Bussa has added 11 solo tackles. Ultimately, these three are the heart of the defense, and hope to continue to play efficiently against one of the best offenses in college football.
Oregon will cover the spread if Nix has an amazing game and can spread the ball to different receivers while also gathering multiple touchdowns. Next, the Ducks must continue to play stout defense.
Final Colorado-Oregon Prediction & Pick
These teams are both undefeated. Yet, they are miles apart in talent. Expect the Ducks to jump on the Buffaloes from the start and blow them out. Therefore, Oregon will cover the spread and probably win this game by at least 25 points.
