This is a battle between a team that’s new to Conference USA and a quarterback who used to play in the league.
Former Liberty quarterback Kaidon Salter will look to lead the Colorado Buffaloes to their first win of the season after losing to Georgia Tech last week. Colorado is facing Delaware, which is in its first season in the FBS. The Blue Hens won their first game of the year over Delaware State, but they’ve got a tougher test this time around.

Delaware vs. Colorado Prediction
I predict Colorado will win and cover the 23.5-point spread. I also project the game will go Over 50.5 total points.
We’ve seen in the past where first-year FBS teams take a year to acclimate to the new level. While I do think Delaware could one day be competitive in CUSA, I don’t expect the Blue Hens to have a winning record this year.
And Colorado should be highly motivated to take care of business and get a win here. If the Buffaloes lose, their season could spiral out of control.
And that’s why I think they’ll fix some mistakes and win this contest decisively.
