Why TCU will beat Colorado
- Colorado has lost each of its last 10 games against the Big 12 Conference.

- Colorado has lost the first half in 12 of its last 13 games against the Big 12 Conference.
TCU vs Colorado Prediction
Both of these teams come into this contest near the bottom of the Big 12 standings, but Colorado is winless in conference play and they are on the road here. The Buffaloes nearly beat Arizona State in their last game and they are shooting 45.7% from the field this year, but they have allowed at least 78 points in three of their last four games. Colorado has lost four conference games on the road so far this season, with three of them coming by at least 10 points. TCU has lost three games in a row and they have scored 61 points or fewer in all three of those games. The Horned Frogs are shooting just 41.3% from the field this year, but they should be able to find success against this Colorado defense. I don’t love either side in this matchup, but I have to fade Colorado on the road. Take TCU to cover at home.
