Randy’s Pick
The TCU Horned Frogs are the better team, they're at home, and they need to win out to become bowl eligible. Baylor's season is done, so I can understand the large number. However, TCU isn't playing well enough to deserve to be double-digit favorites. TCU still has issues finishing drives offensively and is 89th in total defense as well as 103rd against the pass. Baylor can still throw the football with success and move the ball. Big number for two teams that are limping toward the finish line. Give me Baylor and the points.
