There will be plenty of betting interest in Saturday's showdown between Colorado and Colorado State after last year's 43-35 thrilling overtime affair.
However, the best sportsbooks understand that interest, which is why there is an opportunity to fade some offensive props during the rematch in Fort Collins, Colo.
We already have you covered with our Colorado vs. Colorado State prediction, but now it's time to dive deeper.
As part of our Week 3 college football predictions, our Colorado vs. Colorado State player props aren't expecting as many fireworks this weekend.

Colorado's run game game has been atrocious through two games. The Buffaloes only run the ball 23.6% of the time, averaging -0.37 EPA per run. They rank 103rd in the country in PFF run grade, which might even give them too much credit.
Offerdahl, a former walk-on, has 19 total rushing yards this season. He has carried the ball nine times, playing 51 of the team's 123 snaps this year. I'm going to make Offerdahl prove he can clear this line.
FanDuel opened Offerdahl's rushing prop at 34.5, but it has been bet down to 29.5. Take advantage of Caesars' offering before kickoff.
Best odds: -115 via Caesars | Implied probability: 53.49%

Colorado likes to take deep shots, as quarterback Shedeur Sanders has a 93.1 PFF grade on passes of 20-plus yards. He is tied for fifth in the country with five big-time throws through two weeks.
Naturally, our best sports betting sites are trading Sanders' longest completion at 46.5 for Saturday. Savvy bettors should look to the longest reception market for better value, as evidenced by Hunter's line of 30.5.
Hunter hauled a 41-yard pass in the opener, leading the team in targets (20) and receptions (17) through two weeks. This is my favorite way of having action on a player as talented as Hunter in a rivalry matchup.
Best odds: -114 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 53.27%

The market must believe in Colorado receiver Sheppard this week. His receiving line has climbed since opening at 41.5 and shows no signs of slowing down based on the upward movement of Sanders' passing yardage prop.
But I'm not sure the movement is warranted. Sheppard recorded 59 yards in last week's loss to Nebraska after finishing with 23 yards in the opener. He is fourth on the team in targets (six) and receptions (five), with a PFF drop grade of 29.8.
Consider me skeptical of Sheppard having a huge night. I'd bet this down to 45.5 if necessary.
