AAA's 10* *PAC-10* "ART OF THE GAME!" (SIX STRAIGHT WINNING NCAAF SAT'S!)
(NCAAF) Colorado vs. Oregon,
Point Spread: 33.50 | -110.00 Colorado (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* ART OF THE GAME on Colorado.

I think the Buffs can keep this one close enough to sneak in through the backdoor with what I feel is a healthy amount of points they've been afforded here. Marcus Mariota and the Oregon Ducks are inching their way closer in reaching the College Football Playoffs, but I think come in a bit complacent as the team enjoys senior day and all the festivities and hype surrounding the event. Note that Oregon has already clinched a spot in the Pac-12 title game and is currently ranked No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings. I'm not going to try and convince you that Colorado is a good team, obviously it's horrible, but I do think this a prime situational play and this is way too many points to be giving up. Note that Mariota is likely going to be forced to work with a new center today as Hroniss Grasu suffered a leg injury in the Ducks' 51-27 win at then No. 20 Utah on November 8th. Also note that Oregon will be without the services of TE Pharaoh Brown, who was injured in the Utah win as well. Colorado is unsure at this point who will get the start under center, but one man to keep your eyes on is Nelson Spruce, the WR is tied for fourth in the country with 11 TD receptions and is seventh overall with 1,091 yards. One thing we can count on today from the Buffs while they're on offesnse is a steady dose of the run game, not only because they are averaging 172.9 yards per contest in Pac-12 contests (good enough for third in the conference), but also so as to limit Oregon's time of possession. Note, already 4-3 ATS this year as an underdog, Colorado is also 4-3 ATS vs. conference opponents. And note that Oregon is already 0-2 ATS this year as a favorite of 31 points or more this season and just 5-6 ATS in the same position over the last two. In my opinion, all signs point to COLORADO as the sharp move here.
