3 Units TCU -17.5
Situationally this game is fine for TCU because they are coming off of an easy win last week against Baylor and do not have a tough game next week. The Horned Frogs know that they must win with style points in order to stay highly ranked in the polls. Should a few of the top teams falter, then TCU would be in a position to play for the national title if they are undefeated. However, they must win with style unlike other teams in the top ten. This game is a great chance for them to dominate on a national stage since it’s the only game on Friday night. This game is technically a road game for TCU, but it’s only a short drive away from their campus. SMU doesn’t have a strong home field advantage either. There are two games that make TCU a selection for me. First, the Horned Frogs completely dominated Oregon State statistically in the season opener, even though the final score didn’t indicate that. In addition, Texas Tech really destroyed SMU in their season opener, but the Mustangs were able to get some late scores for a backdoor cover. TCU knows they have to win with style, and they will be able to over power SMU. The Mustangs defense gave up 35 points to Texas Tech with several minutes still left in the 3rd quarter. TCU has a dominating defense, which will make it much easier for them to hold off a late cover by SMU. Look for the Horned Frogs to win this game with around a final score of 45-20.
