Before you make any Colorado vs. Air Force picks and college football predictions, you NEED to see the predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,600 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It enters Week 2 of the 2022 college football season on a 48-37 run on all top-rated college football spread and money-line picks that dates back to 2021. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.

The model knows Air Force has one of the better records in college football over the past three full seasons. Excluding the 2020 COVID-shortened season, the Falcons are 22-5 over that span, including 10-3 last season and 11-2 in 2019. In the season opener, it was the ground attack that spurred the Falcons to victory. Air Force rolled up 691 total yards vs. Northern Iowa, including 582 yards rushing. Two players -- quarterback Haaziq Daniels and running back Brad Roberts -- each surpassed 100 yards rushing.

The model also knows Colorado is led by senior linebacker Quinn Perry. Perry made six solo tackles against TCU, and was a staple on the defense last year. In 2021, Perry was second on the team with 78 tackles, including four tackles for loss and six for no gain. For his career, Perry has seen action in 19 games, including 11 starts, with 82 tackles, including 54 solo.
