00:00You've got a virtual pick'em tonight in Boulder. It's
00:05Colorado and Baylor. The Buffs in their first Big 12 game back
00:10in this league. A point and a half favorite at home. Last
00:14week in the Rocky Mountain Showdown, KFCU was the much.
00:17Yes. Better side on the road in Fort Collins. How does Big 12
00:20play begin for Deion Sanders and company? So, I wanna just
00:22make a point about how rare this is within Deion's time in
00:26Colorado. Spreads like this. Last year, the two and a half
00:28point number to Nebraska is the only game that they played
00:31where the line was under a field goal until now here. This
00:34is the second time we've seen that and by the way, there's
00:36very few games that have been under a touchdown. A lot of
00:38those games are monster, monster numbers. Here's the
00:41other rarity. This team coming off of the defensive
00:43performance that they had against Colorado State. That
00:46was the best defensive effort they've had from a scoring
00:48perspective. The second best they did last year ironically,
00:52Nebraska who they held a fourteen. Every other team got
00:54to at least twenty points against Colorado. I'm not
00:57believing that that defense has fully figured things out
01:00here. I love the over in this game. Baylor makes the
01:02quarterback switch to Sawyer Robertson which is a much
01:05bigger upgrade. Daquan Finn clearly not power level ready
01:08here but I also do not think that we have a Baylor team who
01:11is all that great. I think this is a short number. I'd rather
01:14be betting Colorado but I'm not on the side. I like the over
01:17here. We know. We saw it last week. Colorado's gonna throw
01:21until you know, we've got zeros across that clock here. I
01:24think the Baylor offense is better. Give me over at fifty
01:27one and a half. I like Colorado. I think they're the
01:29better side in regards to this match up. Clearly have the
01:32better quarterback. Clearly have the best wide receiver in
01:34the game. Travis Hunter has thirty receptions already on
01:37the year. He's got three straight 100 yard performances.
01:40He does. Statistically, Baylor looks good on paper in regards
01:43to that secondary. Seventy-five passing yards allowed holding
01:46opposing quarterbacks to only 45% completion percentage. Utah,
01:52Tarleton State, and Air Force who doesn't throw. So, there
01:54you go with the numbers. I think Colorado pushes tempo.
01:58Kev might be right in regards to the total. I don't like the
02:00total as much. I really like Colorado to make a statement
02:03here. Baylor last year under Dave Aranda. The worst scoring
02:06defense in the big twelve. They gave up more than 33 points per
02:09game. The year they won the big twelve in 2021. Second best
02:13scoring defense allowing just 19.2 points per game. They face
02:17a very difficult Colorado offense to contain. Shadora
02:20Sanders last week. 310 yards, four touchdowns. Forty-nine
02:25pass attempts.
