Colorado State at Texas Betting Pick & Prediction For 8/31/2024
In a highly-anticipated matchup on August 31, 2024, at 3:30 pm ET, the Colorado State Rams are set to take on the Texas Longhorns. The Colorado State Rams are sizable underdogs going into this game, with Texas favored by 32.5 points going into this non-conference matchup. But as we have already learned early this college football season, upsets are always a possibility and Colorado State will look to make one happen here.
Can Horton, Rams Shock Longhorns?
Most college football fans probably got the bulk of their exposure to the Colorado State Rams last year in their thrilling game against the Colorado Buffaloes in non-conference play. The Rams ended up with a losing record last season, going 5-7 for the year. But they were fun to watch on offense, even if their defense struggled, something we expect to continue in 2024.
For Colorado State to have a chance to pull off an upset over Texas in this game, they will need to find a way to get the ball to wide receiver Tory Horton. Horton caught 96 passes last season for 1,136 yards and eight touchdowns. He is one of the best wide receivers in all of college football and he could help make this game more interesting than anticipated if he can find some space in the Longhorns secondary.
Texas Must Avoid Looking Ahead to Michigan
Last season, the Texas Longhorns won the Big 12 and made it to the College Football Playoff, where they lost to Washington in the semifinals. But that breakthrough season has prompted plenty of optimism ahead of Texas' debut campaign as a member of the SEC. Here, the Horns will look for a strong start before their next game, which is one of the biggest games of the year as they get set to take on the Michigan Wolverines.
When you are as high-profile a program as Texas, losing talent such as Xavier Worthy, T’Vondre Sweat, and Adonai Mitchell is inevitable going into any given year. But the Longhorns still have Quinn Ewers at quarterback after his incredible 2023 campaign. That should be more than enough to help the Longhorns get the job done in convincing fashion in this non-conference matchup.
Colorado State vs Texas Best Bet
We will lay the points with Texas as a favorite in this Colorado State vs Texas matchup from Austin. This is the first time Texas fans have seen their team at home since their run to the College Football Playoff. As if the atmosphere at a Texas football game wasn't already daunting enough for visiting opponents, that should push things over the top and Texas could win this game by way more than the current point spread amount.
