Colorado vs Colorado State Odds: Rivalry in College Football Week 3 Lines

🚨UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET SATURDAY: Three hours before kickoff, the Buffaloes are -7.5 in BetMGM's Colorado vs. Colorado State odds. That matches the opening number, but the Buffs were at -7 from Tuesday to Friday evening, then went to -7.5 (-105).

This morning Colorado adjusted to -7.5 flat.

"For the first time in a long time, the house needs Coach Prime and Colorado. A 50/50 split on the moneyline makes the Rams a loser there. And there's plenty of interest on Colorado State with the points," BetMGM trading manager Seamus Magee said.

The total opened at 59.5, bottomed out at 57.5 Thursday and went to 58.5 Friday. Magee said the total is seeing good two-way play.

🚨UPDATE 4:30 P.M. ET FRIDAY: There are still more than 24 hours until kickoff. But overall action on this matchup shows a dampening of enthusiasm thus far for Coach Prime and Colorado.

"This one is really interesting" Fanatics Sportsbook college football trader Ty Gour said. "When the schedule was made, we thought this would be a huge game for us. But we're seeing the hype really die down.

"We're still seeing some favoritism toward the Buffaloes on the moneyline. But interestingly enough, the Rams are taking two-thirds of action at +7 on the spread."

That said, Colorado is now -7.5 (-105) at Fanatics, after spending much of the week at -7. The moneyline is at Colorado -285/Colorado State +230.

The total opened at 59.5 and dropped to 57.5, but is now on the rebound at 58.5.

"The Over is getting smashed. At 57.5, the Over is getting 94% of the money," Gour said.

Colorado vs Colorado State odds might mark the end of Coach Prime's public popularity. If the Buffaloes can't get it done on the road, the masses could be ready to get off the bandwagon.

The Buffs are laying more than a touchdown in odds for Colorado Buffaloes vs. Colorado State Rams. The Rams will surely feel disrespected and would love to flip the script in this rivalry.
