TCU vs Kansas Prediction

The Kansas Jayhawks are the more talented team and could blow the doors off, but this also isn’t the Kansas team from past years. The Jayhawks have some chicks in the armor and can be beaten. Heck, Kansas has lost four of its last 10 games, and that includes a loss to West Virginia as a double-digit favorite. The TCU Horned Frogs are 9-1 SU at home this season and are above average defensively. TCU doesn’t get blown out often. Also, the underdog has covered seven of the last 10 games between Kansas and TCU. We know the Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena will be jumping as this is a potential statement game for the Horned Frogs. I want the points.
