TCU vs Kansas State Prediction 

Kansas State comes into this matchup with a 2-4 record on the season, but their last three losses have been by a combined 10 points, so they haven’t been too bad. The Wildcats have been inconsistent on offense this year, but they face a TCU defense that has had some issues. The Horned Frogs may struggle on defense, but they have one of the best passing attacks in the country and Hoover is a great quarterback. This should be another close game, but I am taking TCU, as they continue to find ways to win.
