Bet TCU vs. Colorado State Odds
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook Sportsbook.com have made TCU a 33.5-point favorite on the road. The over/under for the game has been set at 54.
TCU has been a dominant force in college football while Colorado State has given up 30 or more points to lesser teams like Idaho and Miami (Ohio). It is always a bit uneasy to pick a team to cover that large of a point spread on the road, but the Horned Frogs have won their last three conference road games by at least 31 points.
The key to making this pick of TCU is all about the Horned Frogs ability to run and stop the pass. Colorado State already gives up 167 yards on the ground per game and now the Horned Frogs bring in a rushing attack that eats up over 250 yards per game. Colorado State will have to rely on its passing game to keep up, but the Horned Frogs are giving up just 143 yards per game through the air.
Trends also favor the pick of TCU as Colorado State has failed to cover in their last six conference games. In terms of the point total, we suggest a pick of the under, as we don’t see the Rams scoring much, if any points at all. TCU should cruise in this one and post a win in the range of 40 points.
