Nebraska-Colorado final score predictions and Week 2 CFB picks

Another game day for Nebraska football is less than 24 hours away as the Huskers square off with Colorado (11 a.m. CT on Fox) in Boulder.

It should be an electric atmosphere during Deion Sanders' home debut at Folsom Field, where Inside Nebraska will have boots on the ground in publisher Zack Carpenter, staff writer Steve Marik and digital producer Jansen Coburn.

Important notes:

>>> Our 10 picks in the table above are made "Against the Spread." For example: If one of our staff members predicts Colorado to beat Nebraska, 28-27, he may still have Nebraska listed on the chart because he is predicting a Colorado win but does not believe the Buffs will cover the spread (which is -3.0 points in this case. If you are unfamiliar with how ATS picks work, head to this link for a full rundown!

>>> The spreads were locked in at 2 p.m. Wednesday. Each staff member had the same spread to consider.

>>> Scoring System: 1 point awarded in the season standings for each correct pick, 1 bonus point awarded for correctly picking an upset straight-up, 1 bonus point awarded for predicting the exact score + winner of Nebraska's game.

>>> We will do weekly picks during the regular season, and we will extend it into the postseason if Nebraska reaches a bowl game.
