Wyoming opens as....

....a 43-point underdog to Oregon.

I told a friend that is an Oregon fan that I would put the spread at about 38, so it looks like I wasn't too far off.

Last season Oregon's average margin of victory in the first half of the season was 43 points, against Nicholls, Virginia, Cal, Tennessee, Colorado and Washington. It didn't start to drop until the second half of the season when their competition got even tougher and other teams had more film, I assume. This spread tells me that the bookies feel Oregon enters the season more prepared that most teams, and they feel the Pokes are no better than the teams listed above. Which at this point, we are not. As much as I'd love to win this game somehow, I am okay with a morale victory this weekend, where we put up a fight and keep it close. We need to get the run game back on track. In the meantime, I'll just enjoy seeing Wyoming sitting at 2-0.

So if you're using 5 dimes, it's now 43.5. They are the only offshore book with lines out that I'm aware of. The line looks a little low. But I won't touch it. I doubt they play their starters beyond the first half. Frankly, I think we should use the second half to give our backups some playing time. I would like to see the second string qb get some playing time.

J-rod, I owe you a beer. You got me to rethink the boise st - csewe game. I stayed away from it. After CU's narrow win against Umass, it appears little has changed in Boulder.

No problem. Media had me wondering there for a second...they had people on College GameDay picking CSU to win! But it's one thing to establish a run game vs. the Buffs, another to do that to Boise State. 28 yards on 23 carries...that is nothing short of domination. CSU is a good team, but that rushing attack can be beaten.
