TT is coming into this game playing very well recently as they have won their last 4 straight games. They have really been heating up recently, winning 2 of their last 3 games against conference opponents, and one of those wins even came on the road for them. They are on the road again here where they are only 3-5 this season but they have been great against conference opponents with an 11-4 record against them and they have even won 2 of their last 3 games on the road. They are going up against a TCU team that has been great at home this season with a 10-4 record there but they have been struggling against conference opponents with a 6-8 record. TCU has also been taking a tumble recently as they only have 1 win in their last 5 games. With TCU struggling recently and TT gaining a lot of steam in their games, TT will likely win this game but TCU has still been good at home this season so they will keep this game within single digits.
