The TCU Horned Frogs travel to Morgantown to face Big XII rivals West Virginia Mountaineers.
The Horned Frogs are racing to the top of the Big XII, as they are nationally ranked and have grand designs for March Madness. West Virginia is 0-5 in the conference and struggles to remain relevant.
There is still time for the Mountaineers to turn their season around, but they are running out of it quickly. The Morgantown faithful will be fired up for this one. Who will be victorious--the road Horned Frogs or the much-maligned Mountaineers?

TCU Horned Frogs vs. West Virginia Mountaineers: Prediction
The lack of respect for the Horned Frogs by Vegas is startling. TCU opens up as a 3-point underdog against a team that hasn't won in the conference all season long.
Morgantown can be treacherous, but West Virginia doesn't have the firepower to match TCU. Give me the Horned Frogs, and I will take the points.
Final Prediction: TCU +3 (-110), Under 148
