TCU vs BYU Prediction
There’s a world where TCU can win this game outright, as the offense can get rolling and BYU isn’t built to respond to deficits, as we saw last week. However, TCU has come up short in three of its bigger games this season, and that defense is suspect at best. BYU has played its best ball at home where its unbeaten and the defense should be eager to respond after last week’s efforts. We’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. This could be an ugly, slow paced game, but I’ll take BYU by a touchdown.
