TCU is entering this game with a 8-0 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 5th home game of the season as they are 4-0 in their home games this year. This will also be the 6th conference matchup on their conference schedule this season as they are 5-0. They won against the West Virginia Mountaineers in their last game on the road 41-31.

The current betting odds have TCU listed as a 9.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. TCU has been having a great season so far and right now they are the only team in the Big 12 with an undefeated record still. They are in great position to go to the Big 12 title game and they have been crushing a lot of teams at home this year. Texas Tech hasn't been terrible in their games as they can definitely score points but their defense has been very bad as they give up a ton of points. TCU scores a lot and being at home here is only going to help them play even better so they will put up a ton of points on this bad defense. The Texas Tech offense has been good but they will struggle to keep up with TCU in this game like they have struggled in other road games this season. They have also lost most of their road games by double digits and they are just not that good of a team this year. The best way to place a bet here is on TCU to cover the spread in this game.

"Got to look at the film and see what those guys did good. It was kind of one of those deals where we got the point late in the game, we were really trying to make sure we didn't come out with somebody banged up or hurt." - Joey McGuire after his team’s loss against Baylor in their last game. 

 

 

"We're not playing for how pretty it looks. We're playing to get that win, whether it's won by one or by 40. Obviously, there's things that we need to work on that will make it easier for us." - Sonny Dykes after his team’s win against WVU in their last game.
