Despite allowing 16.5 points per game, Iowa State has one of the top defenses in the nation.

The Horned Frogs have been on a roll this season. They defeated the Baylor Bears in their most recent game but fell just short of covering the spread in that one.
They have managed to outplay their opponents on offense, and their defense has been pretty solid. Offensively, they rank eighth in points scored and eleventh in total yards average per game.
Kendre Miller has led the charge for the Horned Frogs' offense this season. He has scored 14 touchdowns and rushed for a whopping 1188 yards. TCU has been strong on defense, allowing only 25.5 ppg.
They need to do better if they wish to win after giving up 28 points in their previous game and ultimately failing to cover the spread and going under the total points stipulated for the game.
Iowa State vs TCU Betting Prediction
The Cyclones have hit the under in all of their previous six games, ultimately losing five of those six games. They have hit the under in their last five games following a loss against the spread.
The Horned Frogs have hit the under in all of their previous four games and are 6-1-1 against the spread in their last eight games. The Frogs are the outright favorites to win this game, and their offense will do enough to cover the spread today.
Pick: Horned Frogs -9.5 (-110)
