Prediction
TCU 31, West Virginia 13
Moneyline (ML)
TCU (-359) opens this contest as a big home favorite in the inter-conference matchup with West Virginia (+425). Given how poorly West Virginia’s offense has played this season, look for TCU to be able to win this contest at home.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Horned Frogs to win outright returns a profit of $2.79.
Against the Spread (ATS)
TCU (-13.5, -110) opens this contest as a two-score favorite at home despite just a 5-6 record on the season. West Virginia just doesn’t have enough firepower on offense to keep up with TCU and it’s why the Mountaineers have failed to cover the spread in five of their last seven games. Look for TCU to cover the 13.5-point spread Friday afternoon.
Over/Under (O/U)
The total is set at 43.5, which seems very low for this Big 12 meeting. While West Virginia’s offense is averaging less than 21 points per game, TCU actually has one of the better offenses in college football. Look for them to score in the low 30s and for the OVER to hit late in the fourth quarter.
