Oklahoma State vs. TCU Prediction
I’m on the over here. I lean towards TCU, but the Horned Frogs’ defense has been suspect in its own right lately. This is a massive total, but we’ve seen these two teams score and give up points in bunches in recent games as well. I think this one ends up being a track meet so give me the over.
