On the season TCU is 3-4 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 3-3 and Oklahoma State is 2-3 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 3-2.
OSU is led by a couple of freshman QB’s with J.W. Walsh getting the start in the Cowboys last game where he passed for over 400 yards. WR Josh Stewart is his main target with the most receiving yards and catches and TE Blake Jackson is his big play guy averaging nearly 20 yards per reception. TCU ranks 54th in the nation in pass defense and they gave up 318 yards through the air last week in the loss to Texas Tech.
OSU RB Joseph Randle is a beast and has rushed for over 100 yards in every game this season including the Cowboys’ last game. He has a stiff test in this game facing a TCU run defense that ranks 7th in the nation.
TCU committed 3 turnovers in last week’s game and that really cost them. QB Trevone Boykin passed for 332 yards with 4 TD, but he was picked off twice. OSU only ranks 72nd in the nation in pass defense and their pass rush is just mediocre with 12 sacks in 6 games. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
B.J. Catalon and Matthew Tucker pace the TCU rushing offense and not only is the strength of the Horned Frogs offense their passing offense, but the Cowboys have a decent run defense.
TCU could really use a win in this game, as they finish the season with 4 games straight facing teams currently ranked in the top 25.
In some betting trends for this Big 12 match up TCU is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 conference games, 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games following a S.U. loss, and they have an Over record of 4-1 in their last 5 conference games.
Oklahoma State is 20-9 ATS in their last 29 games, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win, and they have an Under record of 5-1 in their last 6 conference games.
Jason’s Pick: I think TCU will play much better D than they did last week and they will score the upset in Stillwater beating the Cowboys.
