Other than the loss to Ohio State, TCU has played well on defense this season. The Horned Frogs have allowed only 248 yards per game in their other 4 games. The last 8 times that Texas Christian University has been a favorite in a range of 3.5 to 10 points, 7 of the 8 games have resulted in an under.
Given the above, a lower scoring game than many are expecting is absolutely in the forecast here. The best bet (value) is to take advantage of the value being offered with the big O/U and play the under with a projected final score of TCU 27, Texas Tech 24
