4* Free Week 8 NCAA Betting Prediction: TCU +6.5
Will Howard vs. Josh Hoover. On paper I’m going to go with Hoover. He was a redshirt last year but has parlayed that into a crucial roster spot for TCU. He was once rated as the #33 QB in the nation (Fact).
So far, turnovers have been a problem in the passing game for Kansas State. They look like a good team, but they just don’t look like a good team on game days! Coming in as the away underdogs, I like TCU to cover the spread at +6.5.
In fact I think the wrong team is favored and I’m on the underdog, TCU will win this game outright. I think TCU has the better defense too.
There’s going to be a shocker in Manhattan on Saturday. (See what I did there Kansas?…LOL)
TCU is 15-5 SU in their L20, and 7-1 SU in their L8 on the road.
My model has this one coming in at 65 total points for total (over – under) gamblers. The defenses are both good, but they’re bend don’t break types, and I think we’ll see points on Saturday. Back the OVER.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of K-State’s last 5 games.
