Colorado State vs Texas Predictions
It's difficult to envision a scenario where CSU rolls into Austin and comes away with a win, so dropping a wager on the Rams' moneyline feels like crumpling up your cash and tossing it out of a window. Even though Texas lost talented players on both sides of the ball, the Longhorns are also returning key starters, have the sixth-rated recruiting class, and picked up 11 players through the transfer portal.
Looking at the spread, however, there has been line movement in favor of the Rams. The spread opened at 35.5 and has dropped between two and three points depending on what sportsbook you're looking at. The Rams didn't fare well against the spread last year, covering in just four of 12 games and going 1-1 in games where they were double-digit underdogs.
If we take a look at last season, the Longhorns opened with a game against Rice and won 37-10. I think we can see a similar approach here as Texas has a massive game against the defending national champs in Week 2 with a trip to Ann Arbor. My predictions for Texas vs Colorado State is a cover by the Rams and the under to hit. Just make sure you search for a sportsbook offering CSU +32.5 and find a total of 60.5 to get the most advantageous lines.
