Their D has not only struggled, but their offense has as well. In their first 5 games the Mountaineers averaged 52 ppg, but they have only scored 14 in each of their last 2 games. Smith has only averaged 209 passing yards per game in WVU&#8217;s 2-game losing streak. He has a great WR corps with a couple of WR&#8217;s with over 780 receiving yards and Smith will be facing a Horned Frogs defense that ranks 63rd in the nation. [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>WVU Andrew Buie has rushed for 120 yards in his last 2 games, but he has a tough task since the TCU run defense ranks 12th in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>TCU QB Trevone Boykin was injured in the loss to Texas Tech, but should be ready for this game. He is only 1-3 since taking over for Casey Pachall, who was suspended for the season. He has some solid targets and in the game against OSU he only passed for 185 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT. However, there is a good chance he will have a good game since the WVU pass defense ranks dead last in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>B.J. Catalon and Matthew Tucker pace the TCU rushing offense and while the WVU pass defense has been shredded their rushing defense ranks 35th in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Something has got to give in this game, as TCU has not lost 4 straight since the 1998 season and WVU has not lost 2 straight at home since the 2003 season.<\/p>\n<p>In some betting trends for this Big 12 game TCU is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games, 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a S.U. loss, and they have an Under record of 5-2 in their last 7 road games.<\/p>\n<p>WVU is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. loss, and they have an Over record of 7-3 in their last 10 home games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jason&#8217;s Pick:<\/strong> I think the bye week is exactly what WVU needed and Smith will have a good game and light up the Horned Frogs and the Mountaineers will get back in the W column and they will cover the spread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TCU vs West Virginia Odds &amp; Prediction After a solid 4-0 start TCU (5-3) has lost 3 of their last 4 games including their last 2 and they will be facing a WVU (5-2) team that has also lost their last 2 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":193,"featured_media":24906,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[39626,324,327,56941,66500,766,56942,56943],"class_list":["post-56981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-39626","tag-college-football-odds","tag-college-football-predictions","tag-horned-frogs-vs-mountaineers","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaa-football-lines","tag-tcu-horned-frogs-vs-west-virginia-mountaineers","tag-tcu-vs-west-virginia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/193"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56981"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57014,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56981\/revisions\/57014"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
