Oklahoma vs TCU Prediction

The current betting odds have TCU listed as a 6.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. TCU enters this game as a ranked team that has been having a great season with a 15-4 record overall and a 4-3 conference record with some pretty big upsets. They have been great at home this season as they are 9-2 in home games and they are coming off of their biggest win of the season, beating Kansas in a road game by over 20 points. They are going to be looking to carry over that momentum into this home game and Oklahoma hasn't really been having a great year with their 11-8 record overall. They have been terrible in their road games with a 1-3 record and they have struggled in their conference games too as they are only 2-5. They have also lost 2 games in a row entering this one and they have played a lot better in their home games as their road games haven't been as close in score. TCU is a much better team than Oklahoma and they are going to be looking to take another big step here at home by following up a big win with another crushing win here. The best way to place a bet here is on TCU to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


“We couldn’t get stops. I mean, we couldn’t get stops. I think it’s the first game in a while that we — some of us let our offense dictate our defense. Some of us — you’ve got to have five guys. In this league, you’ve got to have five guys connected on defense." - Porter Moser after his team’s loss against Oklahoma State last week.


“I knew they (Kansas) were good. I said we got to get to them early and do not let them get them in the groove. I think the difference was the bench for us.” - Jamie Dixon after his team’s win against Kansas in their last game.
