1. Kansas State at TCU
POINT TOTAL 54.5
PICK OVER
Again, same thing here as the Kansas-Baylor total that appears to be way low.
TCU will score in the 30s, because that’s what it does. It has yet to score fewer than 38 points, and that includes the 43 last week against a good Oklahoma State D and 55 against Oklahoma.
The defense isn’t as rocky as KU’s but it’ll give up at least 24 – again, because over the last month, that’s what it does.
Kansas State had a week off to rest up.
The 17-10 loss to Tulane a few weeks ago is a wee bit concerning for this, but the 10-9 win over Iowa State is fine. It’s Iowa State. Those games are low scoring.
The defense was able to hold Texas Tech to 28, but the total in that hit 65. It kept Missouri to 12, but the total came in at 52 – TCU won’t be held to 12.
Again, it’s a primetime game, the energy will be there in Fort Worth, each team can rattle off big plays, and this should be in the 60s.
