Betting Trends for vs
The SMU Mustangs have been very good this season, but they will get a tough order on the road against the ranked TCU Horned Frogs. TCU has had a revolving door at QB the last few seasons, but they have been very successful on offense this season due to a two-headed monster at RB. What has made this TCU team so successful this season has been their stingy defense, and they have already seen some of Shane Buechele when he was with Texas which gives them a slight advantage. The Horned Frogs will cause problems for the SMU offense and give their offense good field position to capitalize. Final Score Prediction, TCU Horned Frogs win and cover ATS 35-17.
