Texas vs Colorado College Football Picks: The Longhorns are (3-0) coming off a rout at home last week to Arkansas, 52-10.  The loss was the worst in the series since a 52-0 Texas shutout in 1916 and the fourth-most lopsided meeting between the schools.  QB Colt McCoy was 17/19, 185 yards and 3 TD's.  McCoy also rushed for 84 yards on 9 carries.  McCoy, who broke the Texas school record for passing touchdown the previous week against Rice, has 65 in his three seasons.  The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at BetUS.com currently list Texas -12 favorites to Colorado heading into this matchup.

"This is the best we've played since the national title year," said Texas senior offensive lineman Cedric Dockery, recalling the 2005 season.

"It shows up on the scoreboard and in the win column."  "We did what we needed to do," McCoy said of Texas cruising to wins in its first four games. "Our total mind-set is on conference play."

The Buffaloes now (3-1) after losing last week on the road to Florida State, 39-21.  RB Rodney Stewart ran for 107 yards on 21 carries.  Colorado has lost five of its last six meetings with Texas, including the last two in Boulder.  I don't think Colorado will have a 100 yards rushing in this game.  Their only shot is to go through the air, and even that is becoming increasing difficult with the pass rush gaining momentum each game.  The online sports betting odds at BetUS.com has the OVER/UNDER in this Texas vs Colorado game is set at 54 points.

College Football Picks: The Texas D is not slow and weak compared to FSU.  For the first time this year, Colorado will see what speed really looks like from a defense.  The teams haven't met since the Longhorns embarrassed the Buffaloes 70-3 in the Big 12 championship game and the Longhorns went on to win the championship.  Longhorns are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
