BETTING TRENDS

TCU is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.

Horned Frogs are 4-2 SU in their last 6 home games.

Texas is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games.

Longhorns are 0-6 SU in their last 6 road games.

 

Prediction

Texxas is given a stiff margin here at home, but it's hard to resist them at home here. TCU has struggled on the road this season, and the Longhorns haven't dropped back to games since December. I like them bouncing back here.

Take Texas' spread Wednesday night.

PICK: Texas -10.5 (-110)
