The Colorado State Rams head to Austin to square off with the Texas Longhorns Saturday at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we look at Colorado State vs. Texas odds from FanDuel Sportsbook before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.
Colorado State is on the rise under coach Jay Norvell, entering his 3rd season with the Rams. QB Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi, who led the Mountain West at 288.3 passing yards per game, returns alongside top WR Tory Horton (96 catches, 8TDs). The offense has potential with 3 starters back on the O-line and with 6 defensive starters returning, the Rams should be competitive in most games.
Texas returns QB Quinn Ewers, who led the Longhorns to a playoff appearance in 2023. While they lost some talent to the NFL, the transfer portal brought in key additions like WR Isaiah Bond and TE Amari Niblack from Alabama. The offensive line is solid with 4 returning starters, and RBs Jayden Blue and CJ Baxter provide a strong ground game. Defensively, Texas reloaded with transfers, including DT Tiaoalii Savea from Arizona, S Andrew Mukuba from Clemson, and LB Kendrick Blackshire from Alabama, making them a formidable team in its SEC debut in 2024.
Texas is No. 4 in the US LBM Coaches Poll — conducted by the American Football Coaches Association and USA TODAY Sports.
