We start from the top and move our way down so keep checking in for more college football previews<\/strong><\/a> for the 2009-2010 NCAA Football Season!<\/p>\n Our 2009 NCAA Football Predictions – Teams | Analysis | Previews Online<\/strong><\/p>\n Coach:<\/strong> Dan Hawkins For whatever reason, Hawkins has been an excellent recruiter in his time at <\/span>Boulder<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n Colorado Buffaloes Gambling Odds from Betus.com to win BCS: +8000<\/strong><\/p>\n Though the Buffs haven\u2019t had a winning season since 2005, the stars are aligning for them to make more noise this season. Divisionally, CU must deal with Nebraska\u2019s running game and the moxie of Kansas QB Todd Reesing, but don\u2019t kid yourself: the balance of power could be shifting in the Big 12 North. The gems of last year\u2019s recruiting haul were offensive lineman Ryan Miller, linebacker Jon Major and all-everything tailback Darrell Scott. All three should have prominent starting roles in Colorado\u2019s 2009 efforts. Diminutive Cody Hawkins, the coach\u2019s son, leads the Buffs at pivot and he\u2019ll be buttressed by a solid front line, Scott and receiver Josh Smith.<\/p>\n The D is fuelled by a very strong linebacker corps, and punter Matt DiLallo is also a cog.<\/p>\n Team Strengths<\/strong> DiLallo spearheads the field position game and Scott should be fed the ball this season, even though back-up Rodney Stewart was 2008\u2019s leading rusher.<\/p>\n Team Weaknesses<\/strong> Though Hawkins can recruit, this hasn\u2019t yet translated to results in the win ledger. Consequently, the athletic director will be watching him like a hawk; one more sub-par season and Hawkins will surely be canned.<\/p>\n Despite the fresh faces on defense, there is plenty of returning offensive firepower and though the Buffs might not win the Big 12 North (and might be overrated by other experts) they should still see improvement.<\/p>\n Check in with CappersPicks.com Best NCAA Football Sportsbook<\/strong><\/a> Review daily for exclusive College gambling bonus specials, and betting promotions.

\nThe linebackers are strong top to bottom: JUCO Shaun Mohler, Jeff Smart and Major comprise one of the better starting three in the conference. Freshman DE Nick Kasa is 6\u201d7, 250 lbs and a beast.<\/p>\n
\nThere isn\u2019t a single returning player on the defensive line. Kasa shows promise, but the line is greener than a San Franciscan after a lunch of questionable sushi. The offensive line has talent in Miller, Blake Behrens and others, but they too are still very young. Two new unheralded safeties step in for the secondary.<\/p>\n2009 Colorado Buffaloes Record Prediction: 9-4<\/h3>\n
