The betting line is UCLA -6.5 at Folsom for the opener, and that just ain't right.

I live in the LA Times media market, and read the daily column about UCLA. They have their problems, and injuries, and I just don't see UCLA coming into Boulder and winning the opener at elevation. They haven't won at Folsom since a close contest in 2014. If you bet, take Colorado and the points. Talk me out of it.

Lots of questions about CU. You'd be crazy to bet this game.

There is a lot to like about this team and can see the comparisons to the 2016 team in some ways. However, you have a coaching staff who has had about the most minimal time you could have with a team in person along with a QB position that is completely unstable. I don't see how anyone could feel comfortable with any line at this point.

That's just it.

The logical odds are 50/50 IMO. I don't, and I don't think anyone knows what the **** is going to happen.

So if someone gives you odds that aren't 50/50 - well...

one side of it is probably a paying proposition.

Edit: my bankroll isn't big enough to win on these sorts of "the odds aren't quite right" disparity situations - you lose a lot before they eventually pay off. The equivalent statement in financial markets is that "the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent."

Sounds a whole lot like progressive betting in Blackjack. It worked for a time, until I lost my ass.

I don't trust any lines this year. Too much potential to get screwed by any number of factors after you lay $$$. But, I wouldn't touch CU in this game unless they were +10.5 or more. Curious to see what the O/U in the game is though. I would be watching the under

I'm staying off this one altogether. There's no Pac 12 line that stood out for week 1 in a "Oh my god, I've gotta bet that" kind of number

Would feel a lot better with a more experienced QB

This post reminds me of when Barney wasted Klatt's redshirt for a few plays against Baylor. Leaving us years later to have "funk in the trunk" starting at QB for us.

Non sequitur, carry on.

To go with his 12 interceptions from last year he put the ball on the ground for 11 fumbles (7 of which they lost). There is no one behind him. A walk on might be winning the backup position now that Yankoff switched to WR.

There should be zero expectations to win any games this season - KD has said in multiple interviews in the past week that this season is free pass for freshman to play and gain experience without counting against eligibility. He even said there are only 7 games, with no bowl eligibility, so he intends to use this year to develop the freshman.
That is an approach towards future teams. It can also backfire and hurt recruiting if the team gets blasted in every game and that is the only on-field view recruits have of KD's system at CU.
If only he would apply that methodology to the QB position!
