TCU Football at Texas: Staff Predictions And Game Previews
The TCU Horned Frogs (9-0, 6-0) face their biggest test of the season when they travel to Austin to take on the Texas Longhorns (6-3, 4-2) on Saturday, November 12. The game will be at 6:30 p.m. and can be seen on ABC.
This will be the 93rd meeting between the two schools. Historically, Texas has a huge advantage in the series, 64-27-1. However, since 2012 when TCU joined the Big 12, TCU holds a 7-3 advantage. Texas is tied with Texas A&M for TCU's third most played series and trails only Baylor (117) and SMU (101).
Texas is a 7.5-point favorite, according to SI Sportsbook. But how does our staff feel the game will go?
In Week 10, only one of our writers, Nick, picked Texas Tech. He's been picking against the Frogs for weeks, so we weren't that shocked by his pick. Four of our writers are 9-0, like the Frogs, in their picks this season - Derek, Nathan, Ryann, and Tyler. Last week, Barry and Tori both came the closest with predictions of TCU 42-24 (The final score was TCU 34 - Texas Tech 24). Nathan is currently at the top of the leaderboard with a perfect 9-0 record and two closest score predictions.
