Why Oklahoma State Will Win

Don’t get into a big twist about the rough defensive day against a Texas Tech team that was punchless for weeks before. The Cowboys won 50-44, but it had a better handle on the game than that.

Also, don’t get too fired up about the TCU 59-23 win over Kansas – everyone does that to Kansas. The Horned Frog running game has been strong over the last few weeks, but the production came against the Big 12’s weakest teams.

The Cowboys still have the offensive punch even through a slew of injury issues, the running game continues to be solid – Dezmon Jackson ran for 235 yards and three scores last week with Chuba Hubbard and LD Brown out – and the defensive side is among the best in the country at third down stops.

Week 14 College Schedule

Why TCU Will Win

Yeah, TCU might have only been able to run well against the mediocre teams, but it’s finding something that works with 247 rushing yards or more in three of the last four games.

On the year, the Horned Frogs are 4-0 when running for 227 or more, and 0-4 when under the mark. As good as the Oklahoma State defense is – the pass rush is good with plenty of plays in the backfield on a regular basis – the run D has allowed 227 yards in three of the last five games.

On the other side – again, to keep stressing this, playing Baylor, Texas Tech and Kansas helped – but the Horned Frogs have found a groove defensively, too, allowing fewer than 80 rushing yards in three of their last four games.

CFN Experts Picks: College

What’s Going To Happen

TCU has been able to turn around its season, but it’s about to go against an Oklahoma State team that’s still good defensively, still explosive offensively, and will do just enough to get out with a solid win to keep the Big 12 Championship hopes alive.

TCU (3-4) vs Kansas (0-7) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM


Why TCU Will Win

Kansas just isn’t getting the offense going.

There’s no running game – the Jayhawks have yet to get to 200 yards so far and haven’t hit 100 yards in three of the last four games – and the offense as a whole hasn’t been able to get to 250 yards in four of the last five games.

It all starts with an offensive front that’s not doing anything to pave the way for the backs – a depleted group as the season has gone on – and with way too many plays allowed behind the line.

TCU has a good enough pass rush and it good enough at getting into the backfield to screw everything up. The Horned Frog offense might not be anything special, but it doesn’t have to be this week. It just doesn’t have to screw up – TCU is second in the Big 12 in fewest giveaways.

Why Kansas Will Win

Is anything working correctly in this lost year?

Short answer, not even a little bit, but TCU might have the right mix for Kansas to keep this relatively close – and the it has to hope to catch a few breaks.

The Horned Frogs don’t have a high-scoring attack, the offense isn’t going to come out and blast away for 600 yards – it hasn’t hit 400 in any of its last five games and had its worst performance of the season in the 24-6 loss to West Virginia a few weeks ago – and the passing game has been hit-or-miss.

There’s little to no downfield passing game from the Horned Frogs to worry about, partly because the O line is too leaky. If Kansas can find a way to summon up any sort of a pass rush, this would be the week.

Again, keep the game in range, get a takeaways or two, and come up with a sharp early scoring drive, and …

CFN Experts Picks: College

What’s Going To Happen

It sounds easy, but nothing is going according to plan for the Jayhawks. The lines aren’t playing well enough, TCU isn’t going to make the huge mistakes needed, and it’ll be another ugly blowout loss.

Kansas has lost 11 games in a row by ten points or more. Make it 12.

TCU (3-3) vs West Virginia (4-3) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on the NFL, go to BetMGM


Why TCU Will Win

When the running game works, TCU wins.

The passing attack has been fine at times, but that’s usually used to try keeping up. When TCU is working, it’s controlling games on the ground going 3-0 when it runs for 200 yards or more.

It’s not a dominant attack, but when it works, the Horned Frogs are great at controlling the clock and the game. West Virginia has the Big 12’s best defense, but it’s 0-3 when allowing more than 75 rushing yards.

Why West Virginia Will Win

The passing game has found its groove.

The defense has been strong – it’s among the league’s best at getting into the backfield and it’s tops by far in pass D – but the team has started to kick it in with the offense that hit the 300-yard mark through the air in each of the last four games.

Jarret Doege hasn’t thrown an interception in the last three games and not looks more comfortable pushing the ball down the field a little bit more.

The offense is relying on him to take on the offense to overcome the lack of a steady running game, and now it gets a TCU defense that allowed 200 passing yards or ore in every game but defensive battle against Kansas State.

CFN College Football Experts Picks

What’s Going To Happen

West Virginia is a different animal at home.

It’s 0-3 on the road, 4-0 at Mountaineer Football Field and Mulan Piskar, and it comes from getting more out of the defense. At home, West Virginia has allowed fewer than 260 yards in each of the four games, and way over 300 yards in each of the three road games.

TCU’s offense will try to run, but it won’t be able to do it enough to pull this off.

Texas Tech (2-4) vs TCU (2-3 Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM


Why Texas Tech Will Win

TCU has been strange.

It scores in spurts, it hasn’t been consistent, and it hasn’t come close to playing the same type of game twice in a row.

Texas Tech can figure out what it wants to take away. The Horned Frogs ran well against Texas and Baylor, but struggled to pound against anyone else. They threw well in a few games, and couldn’t get the passing attack going too often over the last three outings.

Get the pass rush going against the shaky Horned Frog line, and the team will instantly become one-dimensional. However …

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

Why TCU Will Win

Texas Tech has been strange.

The normally high-powered passing attack hasn’t hit 300 yards in the last four games, and it’s not controlling games offensively like it should.

If you’re going to struggle on defense – Texas Tech is last in the Big 12 – you need to be able to score more than this team does.

The O is able to move the chains, but the up-tempo style is killing – as always – the time of possession battle. TCU is great at keeping games at its level and pace, and it can be methodical without worrying about the Red Raiders roaring back.

What’s Going To Happen

This game is going to be strange.

The road team has won the last five games, and TCU is 0-3 at home.

TCU will break its rough string with a good passing attack against a secondary that’s been torched over the last three games and in four of the six games. Texas Tech is overdue for a funky-good performance when the offense works, but that’s not this week.

TCU (1-3) vs Baylor (1-2) Game Preview

For latest lines and to bet on college football, go to BetMGM  


Why TCU Will Win

Baylor’s offense can’t run.

A struggling ground game is equaling fewer first downs – fewest in the Big 12 – and an offense that’s having problems scoring. That the Bears have only scored seven times in 11 red zone trips is part of the issue, too.

Baylor simply hasn’t been able to score over the last two games after rolling Kanas to start the season.

But it’s really about the inability to run the ball.

The 2019 Bears averaged 4.6 yards per carry with 35 touchdowns. They only managed to run for fewer than 100 yards three times. Once was in the Big 12 Championship against Oklahoma, once was in the Sugar Bowl against Georgia, and the other time was a 99-yard day against TCU.

Baylor has failed to run for 65 yards – with no scores – in each of the last two games.

Why Baylor Will Win

TCU’s offense has come to a stop.

Kansas State and Oklahoma have okay defenses, but they’re hardly the killers that should only decent teams to just 14 points. TCU rolled past 450 yards in each of the first two games, and failed to get to 360 in either of the last two – both losses.

What’s been the problem? The Horned Frogs can’t convert on third downs, the running game hasn’t been effective enough, and the takeaways aren’t coming to help make everything easier with just four on the year and one in the last two games.

Baylor might have a slew of issues, but it’s not having a turnover problem. It’s not going to hand TCU easy points.

What’s Going To Happen

Baylor hasn’t been able to find any sort of a groove so far.

The team has only played three games, it’s had to deal with virus issues, and it’s all happening with a new coaching staff and a whole slew of new parts to last year’s great puzzle.

It’s losing the tight games – at least so far – that the 2019 team was able to win.

TCU is 0-3 at home, 1-0 on the road, and it’s lone win came against Texas in a thriller that could’ve and should’ve gone the other way.

At home, Baylor will finally get just enough of the offensive parts moving to win a very close, very tight battle with QB Charlie Brewer carrying the team in the fourth quarter.
