Team records:<\/strong> Online betting favorite: TCU -2<\/p>\n Brigham Young has something to play for but let\u2019s be honest — this game is all about TCU. If the Horned Frogs can run the table this season, they\u2019ll vault themselves in major BCS game discussion. If not, they\u2019ll let BYU back into the picture.<\/p>\n If TCU pulls off the road victory, it will be through defense. These guys are tough as nails, particularly Jerry Hughes. He had three sacks last week to up his total to eight for the season. Clearly, NFL betting fans and teams alike are taking notice. The Horned Frogs\u2019 stingy group allows just 13.6 per game and it doesn\u2019t pick its spots; it allowed just 10 points at Clemson and 14 at Virginia. Compare that to BYU\u2019s stars. Pivot Max Hall needs to take better care of the ball, as he\u2019s thrown 10 picks this season, but he\u2019s also thrown for 16 touchdowns \u2013 twice as many as Dalton. Harvey Unga racks up 95.8 rushing yards per game and has hit pay dirt nine times. Hall, who proved his worth against tough competition like Oklahoma, loves to use Dennis Pitta, who leads the team in catches and touchdown receptions.<\/p>\n See the pattern forming? BYU is a mirror image of TCU. The Cougars counter TCU\u2019s great defense with great offense and answer TCU\u2019s lackluster offense with lackluster defense. BYU allows 22.3 points per game and got torched for 54 by Florida State of all teams.<\/p>\n The advantages seem to tilt in the home team\u2019s favor here \u2013 as is the case with the Yankees\u2019 World Series odds. The Cougars\u2019 high-flying offense will find a way to score on TCU and, while BYU\u2019s defense isn\u2019t great, it won\u2019t be pushed too hard by TCU\u2019s offense, especially at home. Pick BYU to seriously wound TCU\u2019s BCS hopes.<\/p>\n Pick: BYU +2 <\/strong><\/p>\n Poolside rants weighs in with some picks for Saturday’s football action…college style.

\nThough last week\u2019s 44-point outburst against Colorado State looks good, TCU\u2019s offense isn\u2019t anything special. The Horned Frogs simply don\u2019t move the chains that much; quarterback Andy Dalton averages just 203.8 yard per game and leading rusher Joseph Turner averages 66.5 yards on the ground.<\/p>\nKICK OFF WEEK 8 OF CFB FOOTBALL SEASON WITH BETONLINE.COM HANDICAPPING CONTESTS \u2013 SURVIVOR POOL & MORE\u2026.CLICK HERE TO JOIN!!!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
