TCU vs Baylor Prediction

In this TCU vs Baylor Prediction, Baylor is coming as -4.5 home favorites. Both teams have almost identical overall records this season and exactly 7 defeats each. Baylor has been strong at home but has been struggling lately, with a 1-5 record both straight up and against the spread in its last 6 games. On the flip side, TCU has been winless on the road and have not been in good form either, as they are 1-4 in their last 5 games and 1-3 against the spread, so I see no value on either side. Both offenses have been shaky lately and as a result, both teams are 10-6 to the under in their last 16 games combined and the under has been 7-3 in their last 10 meetings. I expect a low-scoring affair today, so take the under 150.5 points in this one.
