Texas Tech vs. Colorado player props
J’Koby Williams 3+ receptions (+113)
There’s no better offensive playmaker on this Red Raiders offense than J’Joby Williams. The halfback hasn’t been a starter during his time with the program, but he’s more than proven how productive he can be over the last year or so. Last season, he amassed 1,256 scrimmage yards and was a dynamic threat in the team’s attack – he caught 35 passes for 388 of those yards. Putting the ball in his hands clearly remains a priority in 2026. While he’s recorded only 13 carries over the last two games, he’s stayed involved as a receiver. He had three catches in each of the last two matchups and caught eight passes in the season opener; the lone game in which he came up short saw him log two receptions. Through those first four games, Williams is tied for the team lead in receptions with 16 grabs. Yes, that’s a bit inflated from the opener, but he’s still seeing plenty of receiving work and could continue to do so today against Colorado. It’s no accident that he’s been so involved, especially since he’s so productive with his touches.
Isaac Wilson 200+ passing yards (+100)
Colorado started Julian Lewis for most of the season so far, but after some uninspiring performances, Deion Sanders has now gone in a different direction. He announced that Isaac Wilson will start under center this week, bringing the Utah transfer to the forefront. He played a good bit for the Utes back in 2024, completing just 56.4% of his passes for 1,510 yards, 10 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. In 2025, he was benched in favor of Devon Dampier, so it’s been a while since Wilson got on the field consistently. He did play against Baylor last week, though, going 12-for-25 with 156 yards and a touchdown. It was better play than the Buffaloes had seen from its quarterback in recent weeks, earning him the starting job for now. Texas Tech has a very good defense, but it’s not a truly elite unit like it was last season, nor is it particularly steady against the pass – the Red Raiders have allowed 253.5 passing yards and two passing touchdowns per game. With Colorado a 13.5-point underdog, watch for Wilson to see solid volume today and get to at least 200 yards through the air.
