Prediction
TCU 34, Texas 31
Moneyline ( ?)
TCU straight-up is even money, and even though the Longhorns have been the more impressive team this season, being at home helps the Horned Frogs. TCU is poised for a bounceback game after two straight losses and should pull off the "upset," if you want to call it that. Take TCU (+100).
Against the Spread ( ?)
Texas is favored by 1.5 points on the road. TCU hasn't been all that impressive this season, but after losing two games in a row and facing a Texas team that barely snuck by Kansas, the Horned Frogs should rebound nicely. Take the points with TCU+1.5 (-115).
Over/Under ( ?)
It'll have to be a very high-scoring game for the over to hit, considering the line is 58.5 points. It's well within reach for these two Big 12 teams and I expect them to surpass the number. Texas has scored at least 36 points in all but one game and this is certainly a game where both teams could score 30 or more. Bet the OVER (-110).
