TCU Football vs. Oklahoma: Staff Predictions And Game Previews

In this story:
Let the conference games begin. The TCU Horned Frogs (3-0, 0-0) will take on the No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners (3-1, 0-1) on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Amon G. Carter Stadium.
With the Sooners heading to the SEC in the near future, could this be the last time the Sooners make an appearance at The Carter? Could be.
TCU quarterback Max Duggan is the most efficient quarterback in the nation. However, TCU has yet to meet formidable competition this year, and the Sooners are the first real test. On the other hand, the Sooners suffered their first loss last week and are looking to rebound and get back into the eventual CFP conversation.
Oklahoma is a 6.5-point favorite, according to SI Sportsbook. But how does our staff feel the game will go?
In Week 4, TCU got the win over SMU. The final score was 42-34. Several of our staff came close with their prediction. Nathan came the closest, missing by only one point with his prediction of TCU winning 42-35.
