North Dakota State at Colorado Preview & Picks
North Dakota State at Colorado Preview & Picks
Colorado are tipped to cover as they win the season opener.
North Dakota State will be no pushover, but the Buffaloes’ ability to create explosive plays is likely to be the difference.
- Colorado were 4-2-0 ATS at home last season
- Colorado are 4-1-0 ATS in their previous 5 games
- The Over cashed in 4 of Colorado’s 6 home games last season
Head To Head
- This is the first ever meeting between the two teams
North Dakota State Form
North Dakota State enter the 2024 season looking to better a 2023 run that saw them make the semi-finals of the Division 1 FCS playoffs.
The Bison went 8-3 during the regular season to earn their place in the postseason, and they made a successful start to the playoffs as they blew out Drake, 66-3, in the first round.
They found the second round much tougher though, needed overtime to take down Montana State, 35-34.
North Dakota State then successfully negotiated the quarter-finals by avenging a regular season defeat to South Dakota with a 45-17 victory.
However, the Bison’s run was finally brought to an end in the semi-finals, as they were beaten 31-29 by Montana in double overtime.
Colorado Form
Colorado come into the 2024 season looking to snap a six-game skid and improve on a 4-8 campaign in 2023.
The Buffaloes quickly earned themselves a spot in the College Football rankings as they upset TCU, 45-42, in their opening game.
They backed that up with a couple more wins, only to see the hype train come to a shuddering halt in late September as they were destroyed by Oregon, 48-41.
Colorado rebounded with a 27-24 win at Arizona State a week later, but that proved to be their final win of the season.
The Buffaloes lost three straight meetings with ranked teams, before closing out the campaign with back-to-back road defeats, losing 56-14 at Washington State and 23-17 in Utah.
Verdict
Colorado collapsed last season and they will be desperate to ‘right the wrong’ this time around.
They were a reliable bet at home, winning and covering consistently, so we are expecting a positive start from Coach Prime’s Buffaloes.
