TCU vs Colorado Prediction
TCU is the better team with the more balanced attack, but this line feels a bit rich. TCU has played a lot of games close to the vest this season, and it’s led to failed covers in 2 of its last 3 games. Colorado has a bend but don’t break defense, and I’d assume the offense is going to come along eventually. There’s talent on this Colorado roster, and nearly upsetting BYU should provide confidence.
Colorado has covered each of its last 5 games as a double-digit underdog. TCU has failed to cover 6 of its last 9 games as a double-digit favorite. I’ll grab the points with the Buffs on the road.
