Line opened up earlier today with Cal favored by 14 points...has moved up to 14.5 as of this evening.
Over/under at around 49 points, so Vegas is expecting this game to be something like Cal 32 - Colorado 17.
FYI a short tidbit on the Colorado firing of Dorrell (from a USA Today article talking about coaches salaries):

FYI a short tidbit on the Colorado firing of Dorrell (from a USA Today article talking about coaches salaries):
At Colorado, fans and alumni bemoan how head coach Karl Dorrell was given a fully guaranteed $18 million contract in early 2020 despite having no apparent competition for his services at the time.
CU has gone 4-15 since starting 4-0 under Dorrell in 2020. On Sunday, the school fired him after an 0-5 start this season, leaving CU on the hook to pay him the $8.7 million left on his contract, though he has a duty to find employment elsewhere and use his new pay to offset what CU owes him.
Was it really necessary for CU to guarantee his whole contract of $18 million through 2024?
CU athletics spokesman David Plati noted that shortly before his hiring at CU, Dorrell had been promoted to assistant head coach of the Miami Dolphins. Coaches are taking risks, too, when they leave one seemingly safe job for another in a volatile profession. Their agents demand financial security in return.
