TCU has been up and down all season because of erratic QB play, with two signal callers combining for 14 TDs and 10 picks. They needed two overtimes to scored 24 points last week on defenseless Texas Tech and the previous game lost to West Virginia, 34-10. Their offensive stats are skewed by playing two overtime games already, and they also just squeezed by another defenseless team in Kansas, 24-23. Gary Patterson's defense played better last week, getting 19 tackles from linebacker Travin Howard and an inspired effort off the bench from defensive end Mat Boesen. But the offense continues to regress as Patterson pulled starting quarterback Kenny Hill in favor of sophomore Foster Sawyer. TCU has played its best defense on the road, allowing 20 points per game in three road contests -- all three going UNDER the total. Like last year, Baylor started strong with a cupcake schedule but now that they are facing better competition, the Bears are not as dominant on offense, off a 35-34 loss to Texas for its first defeat. The offense is talented but not the same as when Art Briles was in charge. And Baylor is 10-1 UNDER the total after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game. Play this one to finish UNDER the total.
