TCU is entering this game with a 6-0 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 4th home game of the season as they are 3-0 in their home games this year. This will also be the 4th conference matchup on their conference schedule this season as they are 3-0. They won against the Oklahoma State Cowboys in their last game at home 43-40 in OT. Max Duggan started that game at QB and he completed 23/40 passes for 286 yards and 2 touchdowns. Kendre Miller led the team in rushing with 104 yards and 2 TDs on 22 carries.

The current betting odds have TCU listed as a 3.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. TCU has had a pretty tough schedule in their last few games but they have come out of it smelling like roses as they are the only undefeated team left in the Big 12. KSU has also been playing well in their games as they are the 2nd best team in the conference right now with a 5-1 record, and they are also the only other undefeated team in the Big 12 in conference games. TCU has been really good though, going on the road to beat a very good Kansas team and then coming back home to beat the undefeated Oklahoma State after trailing by a lot early in that game. KSU has also been playing great this year but they have had a lot of wins that were much closer in score and they haven't had a schedule as tough as TCU either. They just beat Texas Tech at home who doesn't have a great team and then they went on the road and beat Iowa State by 1 point when they haven't been having a great year either. This will be their toughest test of the year so far and to go on the road here after the way TCU won last week, it is going to be very difficult for them. The best way to place a bet here is on TCU to cover the spread in this game.

"Their kid made a great play on Malik. He made a phenomenal play. Touchdowns and points were going to be at a premium, with two good defenses." - Chris Klieman after his team’s win against ISU in their last game.

 

 

"Great win for our program. We made every mistake humanly possible in the first half, and guys just kind of kept hanging in there battling and I really thought we had a good mentality at halftime. ... Then we just came out defensively in the second half and just played lights out." - Sonny Dykes after his team’s win against Oklahoma State in their last game.
