West Virginia MountaineersTCU Horned Frogs

The TCU Horned Frogs (3-1, 1-0) retained the Iron Skillet last week, beating SMU 34-17. This week, it's back to Big 12 Conference play as they host the West Virginia Mountaineers (3-1, 1-0) for their fourth home game in September. The game will be played at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth on Saturday, September 30, at 7 p.m. CT and can be seen on ESPN2. 

This will be the 13th time the two teams have met on the gridiron. West Virginia leads the all-time series 7-5. All but one of those meetings, the 1984 Bluebonnet Bowl, has come since the two teams began Big 12 play together in 2012. 

TCU is currently a 13.5-point favorite per SISportsbook.com. But how does our staff feel the game will go?

In Week 4, our staff picked TCU, so everyone is at 3-1 on the season. For the fifth straight week, TCU was the unanimous pick from our team.
