Game 1, better believe the rd team has given this game as many extra looks as possible. ORE ST +4 and +150 or better on the $L is worth a nibble...
I would be terrified if everyone agreed with my Ram pick. I also understand your reasoning. I have spent countless hrs on this one to the point of obsession. Everyone who handicaps game over the years finds a formula that is successful for them. Mine is high powered offenses with stud QBs. I also love the quick strike ability. Now its very possible Nall runs wild and my offense does not get enough chances.

However, EVERYTHING I have heard out of fall camp says the Colorado St D is faster and more physical than anything they previously had. Their LBs are their strength. I am worried about the secondary but who is Luton gonna throw to? The Beaver WR corps is that teams weakness. I expect the Rams to stack the box, shut down the run and force Luton to beat them.

As for the Beaver D from last season, I do believe they lost their best safety and corner. Also, those teams you mention did not have one Michael Gallup. This dude is one of the top 5 WRs in the country IMHO. He has a monster year just on talent and word is he worked all summer on his route running.

Best of luck to you (except on this one)!
