I know Texas is a projected top-5 team, but Colorado State should be better than expected. Remember that this will be a hot and humid day in Auston. Yes, Longhorns are better equipped for the weather, but they also head to Michigan next week, and getting the win and staying healthy is most important.
Last season, early on, Texas "only" beat Rice by 27 points and Wyoming by 21.
Expect a much improved Colorado State range to hang. I see this being more of a 38-17 game than 49-10 game. Take the Rams to cover.

2% on Colorado State up to +31
