Early odds, points spreads released for two Colorado football games

FanDuel has released some early odds and points spreads for Colorado ahead of Deion Sanders first season at the helm of the Buffaloes. Those spreads include Colorado’s Week 1 matchup against TCU and its Week 2 against Nebraska.

The Buffaloes are underdogs in both games. The Horned Frogs are 17.5-point favorites for their Sept. 2 contest while the Huskers are 7-point favorites the following week. Colorado will play in Fort Worth, Texas, at Amon G. Carter Stadium the first week of the year before hosting rival Nebraska in Boulder, Colorado.

The lines are not surprising — even considering the reinforcements Sanders is bringing to the Buffaloes. The team was one of the worst in Power Five football last season with a 1-11 record. Their lone win was a 20-13 overtime victory over California.

In the first game of the season, the Horned Frogs beat them 38-13 in Colorado on a Friday night. The Buffaloes and Huskers haven’t played since 2019, when Colorado won 34-31. The Buffaloes also won 33-28 in 2018. If Colorado can defeat the Huskers, it would mark only the second time in program history it has won three straight against Nebraska.
