TCU's odds at BetOnline.com for their showdown at BYU have them as a road favorite against their bitter rivals, and this is such a heated clash that TCU is alleged to have a BYU helmet on a tackling dummy in their training room. Can BYU hand out some Gambino-style revenge on the team that ruined its BCS chances last year?
TCU vs BYU odds - Saturday, October 24, 7:30 PM ET
The No.8 Horned Frogs (6-0, 2-0) romped to a 44-6 beating of Colorado State in a whipping that was almost criminal. TCU had 499 yards to Colorado State's 182, and they racked up an insane 275 yards on the ground. Andy Dalton was 15-of-23 for 211 yards and a pair of scores, and the Horned Frogs' fourth-ranked defense handled their business. The Horned Frogs' BCS chances are about as good as Pittsburgh's World Series odds will be next year, but as long as they keep winning, they'll be in the picture.
The No.16 Cougars (6-1, 3-0) went off in a 38-28 win over San Diego State, gaining 512 yards of offense, and they held the ball for over 38 minutes. Max Hall was 27-of-39 for 346 yards and three touchdowns, but the defense allowing 28 points when they were only on the field with over 21 minutes? It's an organized crime gambling ring rounded up the BYU secondary and forced them to stop playing defense last week, and they'll need to be much, much better this weekend.
TCU is a 2.5-point favorite in the BetOnline.com sportsbook at BYU, who have won four of their six meetings with the Horned Frogs. However, TCU thumped the Cougars 32-7 at home last year to end BYU's unbeaten season, and they put the BYU offense in a prison with four forced turnovers. The Cougars are coming off two straight road games, and they surely don't want to lose another game at home after their meltdown against Florida State. Payback is a dish best served cold, and the Horned Frogs will get all they asked for and more this Saturday. Go with BYU in an online betting upset.
