TCU vs. Colorado Prediction (Horned Frogs To Start New Era With A Bang)

For the first time since 2000, TCU will start the season without Gary Patterson as its head coach. The Horned Frogs will kick off this new era on the road against Colorado.

The Buffaloes aren’t slated to have a big year in the Pac 12, but a home matchup with one of the Big 12’s most promising teams can give them some life to start the season. 

Here are the odds for their matchup.

TCU vs. Colorado Prediction and Pick

Reed Wallach previewed this game earlier in the week, putting all his chips on one side. 

“Look, there's not much value in betting this number that has moved nearly a touchdown since opening, but the Horned Frogs are set to throttle this team. Duggan and Morris are in a quarterback competition and are going to play a majority of the game and be motivated to show out.

Colorado is going to be a basement dwelling PAC-12 team and TCU has Big 12 Championship upside. I think this one gets ugly in Boulder," Wallach said in his preview.

Wallach is all over the Horned Frogs in this one and I’m on his side. The Buffaloes were outside the top 120 in offense last season and were 101st in opponent yards per game. Even at home, I can’t trust a Colorado team that won only four games in 2021.
