I have already maxed the bet out.

Would bet a pretty substantial portion of my net worth that I am right here
To be clear, being right does not mean I am sure Colorado will win. My $ is in on something like an average of +600, so even if they lose 70% of the time, I got it in super good. Being right means that the live line is calculating the odds by continuing to anchor to the pregame assumption that TCU is 20.5 points better than Colorado, and I think that is very obviously not true. Would wager that next week's lines imply that TCU is < 14 points better than Colorado, maybe even closer to 0 than to 14. Which would make the bets I've made here incredibly +EV.
The live line doesn't really update the pregame assumption as the game goes on, which is a totally reasonable thing to do in week 10 when you have tons of data, but this pregame line was arguably the least confident pregame projection in the history of college football. Continuing to anchor to that line when the play on the field looks very different is a gigantic error
