Randy’s Pick
The TCU Horned Frogs have bounced back nicely from its opening loss to Colorado, and the defense has made major strides. West Virginia has issues finishing drives offensively, the passing attack isn’t great, and the lack of consistent drives puts the defense in a lot of tough situations. I question if West Virginia has the offensive firepower to keep up with a TCU team that’s scored 34 or more points in all 4 games this season. I’ll lay the chalk with the Horned Frogs at home.
