All rules are off when Deion Sanders and Colorado (-7.5) storm into their Week 3 meeting against the Colorado State. Despite coming off an 18-point loss to Nebraska, Shedeur Sanders, Travis Hunter and the Buffs offense gives Colorado betting leverage. The atmosphere at Canvas Stadium will be intense as the Rams try to detonate the overbearing hype around their fellow Colorado university. Going 1-1 SU so far, we're catching glimpses of the same inconsistent Buffs herd we watched last season.

colorado vs colorado state Picks—Week 3
I have to flashback to last season, where the Rams forced double-overtime against the Buffaloes, eventually falling 43-35 but unexpectedly covering the 22.5 underdog spread.
The question is, just like it constantly was last year, will Colorado's offense be explosive enough come game time?
They have all the tools. Sanders is already hovering around the 700 passing yard mark while Travis Hunter and Jimmy Horn Jr. tack on nearly 500 combined yards in the air. Similar to last year, the Buffs look inconsistent -- rushing just 16 yards in Week 2 but 157 yards in their season debut.
Losing five of its last six road meetings, Colorado has a habit of choking when traveling away from Folsom Field. Meanwhile, Colorado State has won five of its last six matchups in front of their home crowd.
The positive to getting blown out by Texas in Week 1 is that Jay Norvell knows what to expect from a potent offense (and that's still only depending on whether Colorado will show up and decide to be one).
Colorado vs Colorado State Week 3 Pick: Colorado State +7.5 (-120)

colorado vs colorado State Prop Pick: travis hunter OVER 95.5 yards (-114)
Even with the gut-wrenching loss to Nebraska, Travis Hunter kept doing Travis Hunter things. The junior has eclipsed 100 yards in both his appearances this season.
With this high-stakes rivalry and the state of Colorado watching, Hunter is going to show out and impress. Just like he always does.
