TCU Horned Frogs vs West Virginia Mountaineers prediction
The West Virginia Mountaineers are typically a prideful program that won’t go down without a fight, so I expect the WVU Coliseum to be rocking on senior night. The problem is, WVU has shown us enough this season that it’s not a good team. West Virginia is also 11-18 ATS on the season, so there’s not much betting value there either. The TCU Horned Frogs have shown they can win on the road, and they’re 17-12 ATS on the season. The line is more than reasonable. I want little to do with West Virginia. Give me TCU and the chalk on the road.
