TCU may be without Trevone Boykin and Josh Doctson, but the Horned Frogs have loved playing Baylor as the team has gone 7-1 ATS in their past eight against the Bears. TCU will end their regular season when they play host to Baylor on Friday.
- The favorite is 0-4 ATS in the past four meetings between Baylor and TCU.
- Receiver K.D. Cannon exploded for 210 yards and two touchdowns for Baylor last week.
- TCU is 12-2 ATS in their past 14 home games.
The Horned Frogs have lost two of their past three games, but the loss of Boykin has been the worst for the team. TCU’s passing offense looked bad against Oklahoma last week with quarterbacks Bram Kohlhausen and Foster Sawyer combining to throw 13-of-29 with three touchdowns and three interceptions.
If Baylor wants to somehow sneak into the playoffs, which I will freely admit is a long shot, they will need to beat TCU and Texas to end their season. Baylor is dealing with injuries at quarterback with starter Seth Russell out for the season and backup Jarrett Stidham likely out this week. That puts third-string sophomore Chris Johnson in the starter role.
