The Line: Betting Odds: West Virginia +15 — Over/Under: +56.5
The TCU Horned Frogs and West Virginia Mountaineers meet Saturday in college football action at Milan Puskar Stadium. Here’s a TCU vs West Virginia Prediction. This article will include a TCU vs West Virginia Pick.
The TCU Horned Frogs lost to Kansas State, beat Baylor, and they play Iowa State next. The TCU Horned Frogs have won 9 of their last 11 games. Josh Hoover is completing 65.4 percent of his passes for 2,124 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions. Eric McAlistar and Jordan Dwyer have combined for 1,071 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, while Joseph Manjack IV has 21 receptions.
The TCU Horned Frogs ground game is averaging 128 yards per contest, and Kevorian Barnes leads the way with 391 yards and 3 touchdowns. Defensively, TCU is allowing 26.3 points and 383.1 yards per game. Kaleb Elarms-Orr leads the TCU Horned Frogs with 64 tackles, Devean Deal has 2.5 sacks and Jamel Johnson has 4 interceptions.
The West Virginia Mountaineers lost to BYU and UCF, and they play Houston next. West Virginia has lost 4 straight games. Nicco Marchiol is completing 67.3 percent of his passes for 720 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. Cam Vaughn and Rodney Gallagher III have combined for 472 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns, while Grayson Barnes has 13 receptions.
The West Virginia Mountaineers ground game is averaging 195.4 yards per contest, and Khalil Wilkins leads the way with 243 yards and 2 touchdowns. Defensively, West Virginia is allowing 30.9 points and 416.4 yards per game. Fred Perry leads the West Virginia Mountaineers with 45 tackles, Chase Wilson has 3 sacks and Darrian Lewis has 2 interceptions.
I’m not running to the window to lay this number with TCU on the road, a team that struggles to run the ball and has a shaky defense. The problems West Virginia is awful on both sides of the ball. West Virginia has one of the worst defenses in the country and the offense doesn’t finish drives despite being top-40 in rushing. West Virginia has scored 14 or fewer points in 4 of its last 6 games. It’s a fade of West Virginia more than anything, but if forced to pick, I’m going to side with TCU in a beat down on the road.
