Kansas vs TCU Prediction
Kansas should be favored at home and will be eager to rebound from a loss to UCF. However, TCU is not a pushover, as the Horned Frogs just beat Baylor and has previous wins over Wisconsin and Florida. TCU defends at a high level and do similar things that UCF did in Kansas last effort. TCU is going to be physical and not give up easy buckets. If TCU can drag Kansas into the mud, this has a chance to be a tight conference game. Give me the points with TCU on the road.
