TCU has been on top in this all-Texas rivalry of late, and they look poised to hand SMU a second straight loss due to their prowess on both offense and defense inside the 20-yard lines.
The Horned Frogs have dominated this series recently, winning eight of the last 10, and my TCU vs. SMU predictions expect that trend to continue.took their first loss of the season last week in a bit of a shootout at home with UCF. They blew a 28-7 lead and trailed for the first time in the game with only 36 seconds left.
While SMU has a good defense, some of that may be a bit skewed by their first three opponents having mediocre offenses. The Mustangs have allowed six touchdowns and two field goals in eight red-zone attempts by their opponents. Now they are facing the No. 5 passing offense in the nation and a team that has reached the red zone 17 times already this season.
Finally, I will throw something in on the SMU side to help boost the odds. When Jennings has been behind center this season, one of his favorite targets has been. He was held without a catch in the season opener with Stone playing most of that game. However, he has seven catches for 93 yards in each of the last two weeks, where Jennings played more snaps. The spread opened at TCU -1 but quickly moved to TCU -3 and remains there as of Thursday morning.The total opened at 57 but has climbed to 58.
