[soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0They are looking pretty good to challenge in the Big 12 next year too. \u00a0This week is a last chance to dominate the way they have been accustomed to.<\/p>\n<p>They aren\u2019t saying Andy who but with Casey Pachall leading the way the Frogs are 10th in the nation in scoring. \u00a0They are one of a few teams that average more than 200 yards per game rushing and passing. \u00a0For someone with almost no game experience previously Pachall has been very impressive this season. \u00a0He has thrown only 6 interceptions while completing 67% of his passes.<\/p>\n<p>TCU has won their last 6 games and only the one against Boise State was close. \u00a0However, this team is only 5-6 ATS as it has taken a while for handicappers to figure them out. \u00a0I was among many who expected the defense to come around as the year progressed. \u00a0It is still good but not what we were accustomed to and those extra points given up cost all of us some cash I am sure. \u00a0If they play for a full 60 minutes another rout of UNLV should be the outcome on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ATS Pick: \u00a0TCU<br \/>\nOver\/Under Pick: Under<br \/>\nScore Prediction: \u00a0TCU 45 &#8211; UNLV 3<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CFB Handicapping: UNLV Runnin\u2019 Rebels vs. TCU Horned Frogs.
