T.M. Selection: TCU/Texas Tech OVER.

Here's an early game that I see flying well over the posted number. Both teams need victories. TCU is 8-0 and it will be pushing for the perfect record and a chance at the Playoffs. TCU on the other hand is 4-4 and it desperately needs two more victories to earn a shot at a bowl game. The Red Raiders' strength is on the offensive side, they're averaging 33.9 PPG. Same thing with TCU, averaging a whopping 44.2 PPG, ranked third overall in the nation. The Horned Frogs give up points, so look for Texas Tech to match pace here in its bid to pull off the outright upset. Because of the situation that each team finds itself in coming into this contest, I'm expecting a very wide open affair. The play is the over.

T.M. Prediction: 43-35 TCU.
