TCU at Iowa State

Unbeaten Texas Christian has one of the best defenses in the country at #11 in yards allowed, ninth in points (14.9 points per game). They have a pair of shutouts and held Arkansas and Kansas State to seven and six points. Last week they shut out Kansas, 43-0, to move to 5-2 UNDER the total. TCU is on an 11-4 run UNDER, including 7-2 UNDER on the road. They can run the football, which chews up yards and the clock, and face a one-dimensional Iowa State offense that is  ranked #110 in rushing. Iowa State plays its best defense at home, allowing 24, 17, and zero points in three of its four home contests. They come off an impressive 31-13 win at Texas Tech, allowing no TD passes with one pick and holding the Red Raiders to 3.1 yards per rush. Look for a physical game in the trenches with these two fine coaching staffs in a Big 12 defensive duel. Play this one to finish UNDER the total.
