Randy’s Free Pick
The TCU Horned Frogs are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but you can argue Texas is the better team here across the board, and this will be just the sixth time it’s an underdog. Texas winning this game outright would surprise nobody, and TCU has been hit or miss offensively lately. Give me the bucket.
