Oklahoma
Things are about to get very real for Oklahoma. So far they have looked pretty good but not to the extent that they are going to just slice right through the conference on the way to the playoffs. In fact based on their history with TCU and the location of the game you can make a strong argument that this will be their stiffest test of the season. Certainly, this will be a real test for quarterback Trevor Wilson. He might not want to scramble around so much this week.
So far Wilson has been pretty good but he has not been harassed too much. Coach Bob Stoops know TCU coach Gary Patterson all too well and knows that at times in the past he has had the Sooners’ number. It will be interesting to see if Oklahoma tries to outscheme the Horned Frogs or whether they try to use their physical advantage in the trenches. That might not be petty but it is probably the smart play.

TCU
The transition to the B12 has not gone swimmingly for TCU. As a result the expectations for this season are low just don’t let Patterson hear you say that. TCU is a nice sleeper that we will find out a lot more about on Saturday. This far their best win of the season was a home win against a nice but certainly not imposing Minnesota program. It was a game they were supposed to win and they did. Now maybe it is time for an upset.
If you have been looking elsewhere you have been missing the fact that QB Trevone Boykin has been putting up some video game numbers as a dual threat. Coming into the season it was believed that transfer Matt Joeckel would take over the position but Boykin has been just too good. Oklahoma has a pretty nice pass rush so his escapability will be tested for sure. He could jump into the Heisman race if he leads them to a win.

NCAA Football Week #6 Prediction: TCU +5
NCAAF Score prediction: 4* Play On TCU 28 – Oklahoma 27
This is a really tempting spot to take the underdog but I would wait and see if this gets stretched to at least a touchdown. Or go high risk and take TCU on the Moneyline.
