Nebraska odds: The index is actually siding with the Cornhuskers, who have the 59.0 percent chance to win the game on the road, according to the computer model that simulates games 20,000 times to pick winners.

Colorado odds: That leaves the Buffaloes with a 41.0 percent shot to defend home field and move to 2-0 on the year, according to the index predictors.

Point spread: The oddsmakers take a different view, naming Colorado as the 3.5 point favorites against Nebraska, according to the lines at SI Sportsbook. That's a marked change after opening up as 7-point underdogs to NU before Saturday's win.

Total: 58.5 points

Moneyline: CU -150 | NU +120

Nebraska predictions: The index rates the Cornhuskers as the No. 51 team in the nation on the latest 133 football rankings, projected to be 3.3 points better than an average opponent, and estimated to win 5.6 games this season.

Colorado predictions: FPI jumped the Buffaloes up 31 spots this week on the 133 poll, coming in at No. 71 overall, estimated to win 4.7 games this season, and be 2.0 points worse than an average team on a neutral field.

I think Nebraska is gonna try and run the ball and wear the Buffs defense down . Matt Rhule loves to run the ball and CU defense was suspect against TCU.

I believe they will have some success, but I don't think it will be enough.

Colorado's offense will be to much for them.

This is basically what's I think is going to happen too. Nebraska ain't gonna shy away from the run like TCU did so I hope they spent the week working on gap fits. Nebraska running the ball 40 times or more also means it keeps Shedeur off the field.

It won't be a track meet like the first game.
