Deion Sanders brought excitement to the University of Colorado's football program during the offseason, revamping the roster with dozens of transfer portal additions. That excitement wasn't shared by oddsmakers, who set the team's 2023 win total at 3.5 games.
Through two weeks, however, “Coach Prime's” team has far exceeded the betting market's preseason expectation.
Sanders has Colorado sitting at 2-0 with wins over TCU and Nebraska, and the Buffaloes are ranked 18th in the latest AP Top 25 Poll. Colorado went just 1-11 last season, so the Buffaloes have already surpassed their 2022 win total in just 120 minutes of on-field action.'
The Buffs are also a perfect 2-0 against the spread, beating TCU straight up as a three-touchdown underdog and easily covering as a short favorite in a 36-14 triumph over Nebraska.'
