Texas vs. TCU: Picks
The Texas Longhorns have been a strong running team throughout the season as they are 32nd in college football averaging 185.6 rushing yards per game.
Sophomore running back Jonathan Brooks has been an incredible player as he has 166 rushing attempts for 1,035 yards (6.2 yards per attempt) with 8 rushing touchdowns. With Quinn Ewers still on the sidelines, it will be interesting to see how he does and he should find the end zone with 5 rushing touchdowns in his last five games.
The TCU Horned Frogs have been one of the best passing teams in the sport. Their average of 296.6 passing yards per game is good for 16th in the nation.
Backup freshman quarterback Josh Hoover has been okay this season. He is 105-of-175 (60.0 completion percentage) for 1,148 yards with 7 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. With 5 interceptions in his last three games, take the over on his interception total.

Texas vs. TCU: Prediction
With both teams dealing with their backup quarterback, I love the Texas Longhorns in this spot. They should be able to dominate as looking at the offenses lately, the Longhorns are scoring 33.8 ppg in their last five games while the Horned Frogs put up 22.3 ppg in their previous four. Go with the Texas Longhorns to dominate here and cover the spread.
Prediction: Texas Longhorns -10
