The TCU Horned Frogs should be favored and win this game, but it shouldn’t shock anybody if they didn’t. TCU looks like a team that’s ready for the season to end, and they’re 120th in total defense and 114th in scoring defense. TCU has been a mess for much of this season. The Kansas Jayhawks are coming off one of their biggest wins over the last 10 years or so, and while it shocks many, they’ve been improved overall this season and have been a lot more competitive. Two teams that can’t defend, this is too many points. Give me the Jayhawks.
