Horned Frogs vs. Mountaineers Gameday
TCU has been up and down all season long. They cannot afford any more downs if they want to be relevant in the second half of the year.
The Horned Frogs can sling the ball around, but the defense is nowhere near what it was during the Gary Patterson era.
Rich Rodriguez returning to West Virginia was a nice storyline this offseason. His impact has far from changed the direction of the program.
The Mountaineers have lost four in a row and have just one win against an FBS team this season They are purely a spoiler at this point.
TCU Horned Frogs
TCU can throw the ball as well as any team in the country. Quarterback Josh Hoover has proven last season was no fluke and they are 7th in the nation with over 300ypg through the air.
There is no balance, though as they are 101st running the ball. The Big 12 is wide open and they can compete in it, but protecting leads can be tough.
The defense does not do anything particularly well other than create turnovers. With their ability to strike quickly afterwards they can be a fun watch.

West Virginia Mountaineers
During his first stint in Morgantown RichRod had a lethal ground attack featuring QB Pat White. That is the strength this season too.
While it is a good approach, the game has changed a lot and if you can’t really throw it you need to be super elite rushing the ball, not just good.
West Virginia is ranked 113th in scoring offense and scoring defense. That nets out to a difference of 10ppg.
It is year 1 of the return of the coach so he is not in danger even if folks thought he would be better as a turnaround artist.

4* Free TCU Horned Frogs vs. West Virginia Mountaineers 2025 Week 9 NCAA Betting Prediction: TCU -17
This is a big umber but look for the Horned Frogs to be able to move the ball at will against West Virginia on Saturday
The offense just isn’t there and I would expect lots of bettors are putting this game into their teasers given that we are on the key number right now.
If it had the hook I might he hesitant but WVU has no motivation right now and there is no juice to this game to give them any edge.
Feel free to cash out early if you are worried about the backdoor (I do it too sometimes)
