The TCU Horned Frogs will play host against an under matched Southern University Jaguars squad.
There is no line on this contest yet, but rest assure this will be a lopsided spread.

Southern University Jaguars
The Southern University Jaguars will be coming off of a solid season in which they went 7-4, but of course you have to consider their level of competition that they played against, which is nothing compared to their battle against a talented TCU squad.
At one point the Jaguars went on a six-game winning streak that saw them averaged over 36.0 PPG, but on the flip side they went on a three-game losing streak that saw them surrender an average of 48 PPG.
They will have to break in a new quarterback, but should get some solid production out of their defense, that is when they are facing competition more in their ball park.
The Jaguars will have their hands full in this outing, but the question is, how serious will TCU take them.
TCU Horned Frogs
TCU put in another solid season under head coach Gary Patterson in which they went 11-3, but they were underwhelming in the betting department going 7-7 ATS.
They were an Oklahoma Sooners victory away from claiming the Big 12 title.

Last years squad was filled with a veteran presence, but they lost 10 starters after the season was over.
Despite losing so many starters, TCU has done well recruiting over the past three years ranking in the top-30 in recruiting during that span.
On the offensive side, they will be returning just two starters, while they lost their QB Kenny Hill, a 1,000 yard rusher, and four starting linemen.
Shawn Robinson, a former four-star recruit, will take command of the helm who actually made a strong case against Kenny Hill a year ago.
On the defensive side, TCU will be returning six starters, while their strong-point will be their defensive line including a couple of NFL prospects.
The majority of TCU’s second level will be back as well, while Patterson shouldn’t have many issues filling the voids.

TCU handles their business on opening day, but covering the spread is up in the air.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Southern University Spread
This is will be like a spring-training contest for TCU, while Southern University will use this contest to get a better feel for they’re team.
There is no line for this contest, but I’m assuming they will at least be 40-point favorites, but as long as the offense can produce the points, their defense should be able to hold Southern University to a touchdown or less.

TCU will use this contest to learn more about their team, and although I expect this to be a blow out, if Southern University can produce even a field goal, they have a chance of covering the spread.
Vegas isn’t going to let the heavy favorite TCU have an easy cover because most of the money should be backing them.
