Stanford -2 1/2 vs Colorado???

[solrosenberg]

I did like this Stanford team early on and it seems like years ago...... with all of their injuries this is a team that.....
Is a running team and cannot run block.... have QBs that cannot complete passes..... have a secondary that cannot cover anybody....
Now they are favored over a Colorado team that has played pretty well thru this season.
Hard to imagine CU not winning this game. Is Stanford getting too much credit for a come from behind road win against a horrid Notre Dame team?
Wazzu just demonstrated that going to Palo Alto and picking up an easy win isn't difficult and I think Colorado is better then Wazzu.
WTF is up with this line? Conan or anybody else feel free to weigh in on this....

It is a line that is begging you to take Colorado which is always something to be wiery of. I agree Colorado has been the better team but this line does smell.

Line should go higher imo when\if its announced McCaffery is a go. Trees don't seem to have much firepower w/o him and their home field is not that intimidating, could be a large Buffs contingency on hand with lots of alumni in Bay Area.

Appears to me that the line is already priced in with him playing.

I thought the opener at -3.5 was a pretty good #, I actually have it a little higher than that but a lot depends on the Trees health imo. Shaw has been good at home in conference 21-5 SU, although this team does not appear to be at quite the same caliber as the past 5 Stanford squads.

they have a coach who doesn't understand football .

Stan win over ND was just because of Irish meltdown at QB OL still cannot block anybody.

Conan liked Stan against Wash. However, I think your take is spot on. Game strongly favors the Buffs

Who?.. ND or Stanford, or both? Certainly Kelly has worn out his welcome and I think David Shaw is overrated, but not sure who you are referring to.

More difficult then it needed to be but Colorado was the better team.
