Let’s take a look at the College Football Week 1 odds, picks, and predictions for this week’s game: TCU vs. Colorado.
You'll have to get this one quick, as it was at TCU -10.5 a few days ago and seems to get bigger by the day! Sonny Dykes will bring a lot more offense to this team as his SMU teams were top 15 in passing and averaged over 300 passing yards per game. TCU was firmly in the middle last season at 60th in passing. While they won't jump up into that top 15 range, I think they should be much better with Chandler Morris at QB.
Quentin Johnston is an NFL-caliber receiver that only had 33 receptions last year and 22 as a Freshman, but that will change very quickly under Dykes. I know I've talked about continuity, and TCU has a new coach and offensive system, but Colorado is rough. They lost eight games last year, seven of which were wider than this margin, and I believe TCU will overpower them. Horned Frogs are easy in this one!
