This is a huge rivalry between these two teams as this is such an important game. The last four games between these two teams have been decided by 10 or less points. Last year, TCU beat Texas 17-10 in Austin so this will be a revenge game for Texas who are on the road this year in this game and have lost eight of their last eleven games versus the Horned Frogs. TCU has the wide receivers to counter Texas’s secondary and they can create turnovers and some havoc plays to give Texas trouble and beat them in the air. Texas just doesn’t have enough explosive plays to run away with this game. TCU are the underdog at home, and they will show up in this game as it will be their “superbowl”. They will give their all in this game so getting 10 plus points is a gift as they can cover this spread as Sonny Dykes would also love to play spoiler in this game.

Texas is 0-1 ATS this season as a favorite of 3.5 to 10 points. Texas is 0-1 ATS this season and 0-5 ATS in the last three seasons off 2 straight wins against conference rivals.

Texas are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games against Texas Christian.

Best bet: take the points with TCU.
