Arkansas St. vs TCU Pick

Both offenses produced dominant performances against lower-level competition last week, but TCU has the more complete roster. Craig should have time to attack an Arkansas State secondary that allowed Memphis to score 42 points in the opener. Payneโ€™s production gives the Horned Frogs the balance needed to control possession and keep the Red Wolvesโ€™ offense on the sideline. Arkansas State has enough skill-position talent to score several times, but its defense will struggle to generate consistent stops. Look for TCU to pull away during the second half and win by more than 3 touchdowns.
