West Virginia Mountaineers vs. TCU Horned Frogs Prediction
I’m on West Virginia and the points here. West Virginia’s had major defensive issues this season, but I don’t really think the Horned Frogs are a good enough team to be able to take advantage of those frailties in this game. The Horned Frogs were a team I was high on coming into the year and I think I really misjudged TCU and gave them too much credit. I think West Virginia is live to win this game so give me the Mountaineers and the points here.
