TCU Horned Frogs at Oklahoma State Cowboys Prediction
The Horned Frogs have dropped back to back games and haven’t impressed in conference play going 3-4 over the seven games. Cowboys have been even worse, losing six straight before getting victory in their latest over Texas Tech. That could signal a turnaround, but I’ll stay on the sidelines as far as making a point spread play. Instead I’ll pace my action on a total side. Last season both games went under the total and that’s where this one should land. TCU has scored 70 or fewer points in five of their seven Big 12 games, but they do play decent defense allowing 70 points per game on the road this season. Defense isn’t a strength of Oklahoma State allowing 80.9 points per game and while they averaged 95.5 at home this season, in conference games they number has fallen significantly.
