Once upon a time, Colorado was a national power in college football. And in 1990, the Buffs won a share of the national championship. But the past generation has brought College Football betting misery to Boulder, Colorado. First, there is no institutional commitment to football at CU. Boulder is about biking and hiking. Specifically, any football interest is geared toward the NFL Denver Broncos. Despite a beautiful campus and past glory, the Buffs do not have a mega-bucks donor base. And the rest of college football has dominated CU. By contrast, Oregon is all-in for football.

Oregon at Colorado SBG Odds Overview
First, Sharps will look at the Ducks based on a small discount on the road. Most important of all, Oregon offers more personnel and overall online betting ability. Colorado appeals to nobody. Certainly, the Buffs are one of the least respected brands on the board.
Oregon Ducks Team Overview
Last game, the Oregon Ducks won 42-24 against the California Golden Bears as 16.5-point road favorites. The game went over the total of 56. Oregon has a record of 7-1 straight up, 6-2 against the spread, and 6-2 over/under the total. Oregon ranks 3rd for total offense, 23rd for passing, 9th for rushing, and 5th for scoring. Defensively they rank 76th overall, 119th against the pass, 15th against the rush, and 81st for points allowed. Also, Oregon ranks 2nd for fewest turnovers lost and 53rd for takeaways.
Namely, Bo Nix threw three touchdown passes and ran for three more scores. Nix catapulted No. 8 Oregon to a victory over Cal for its seventh straight win. Nix threw for 412 yards and accounted for six touchdowns combined through the air or on the ground. Overall, the Ducks gained 586 yards for the game. That total was the most against the Bears in six seasons under Wilcox. Now, Nix has 20 touchdown passes and 11 touchdown runs.
The Ducks won convincingly despite missing some chances to make it even more lopsided. They were stopped twice on fourth down in the red zone. Additionally, they had a drop on a third-down deep pass that could have gone for another score. Also, Oregon threw an interception in the red zone. Those weren’t costly against the Bears. But it could be an issue when the schedule gets tougher down the stretch.
