TCU Football at West Virginia: Staff Predictions And Game Previews
In this story:
The TCU Horned Frogs will leave the state of Texas for the last time until perhaps bowl season when they travel to Morgantown to take on a struggling West Virginia Mountaineers team. The game will be at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN.
It's been a brutal four weeks with the Frogs winning four-straight over ranked opponents. This feat hasn't happened since Tennessee did it in 2016 and is the first time it's been done in Big 12 history.
After wins over Oklahoma at home on October 1, Kansas on the road on October 8, Oklahoma State in double-overtime at home on October 15, and Kansas State last week, the Horned Frogs look to continue the unbeaten streak in Morgantown.
TCU is a 7.0-point favorite, according to SI Sportsbook. But how does our staff feel the game will go?
In Week 8, only one of our writers, Nick, picked Kansas State. He's also the only one to pick WVU this week. But he's been picking against the Frogs for weeks, and it's working, so we are fine with those picks. Four of our writers are 7-0, like the Frogs, in their picks this season - Derek, Nathan, Ryann, and Tyler. Last week, Barry came the closest with his prediction of TCU 38-27 (The final score was TCU 38 - Oklahoma State 28). Nathan is currently at the top of the leaderboard with a perfect 7-0 record and two closest score predictions.
