Colorado travels to Northwestern on Saturday, September 19 at 7:30 PM ET at Martin Stadium, with the Wildcats favored by 3.5 and the total set at 48.5. The guys broke this one down on the College Football Picks Week 3 episode, and all three landed on the Buffs.
Colorado vs Northwestern Odds
Northwestern is the current home favorite at -3.5, which puts Colorado at +3.5. The current total sits at 48.5.
Our Picks
- Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric): Colorado +3.5
- Sean Green (@SeanTGreen): Colorado +3.5
- Colby Dant (@thecolbyd): Colorado +3.5
All three are on Colorado getting the points.
Colby led the charge on the Buffs, saying Colorado has been slept on and that he loves what they bring to the line of scrimmage under Chip Kelly. He talked up the run game and a smash-mouth approach, and he thinks Colorado is live to win outright, not just cover.
The guys did flag the wrinkle: Colby noted the young Colorado quarterback struggled some in the Georgia Tech game, though he pointed out the QB steadied down the stretch on the most important drive and is still early in his run of road starts. Sean expects a close game and would be surprised to see Northwestern run away with it, leaning on the long stretch of prep time Colorado had coming into this one and trusting the Buffs on the points.
Kramer called it a tough spot with Chip Kelly sitting as a favorite, but he came around and confirmed he is on Colorado too, making it unanimous.
