    TCU -32 against Wyoming

    The total is 43, so it's a tight window for TCU and the under to cover. I think this game is goiing to go over with a TCU cover as well. Something like the Wyoming games against BYU and Utah, with a score of 7-44 TCU.

    Thoughts?

    I'm considering the Ov. Wyoming averages 8pts a game, so TCU needs to pile up some pts or they are in trouble (for covering).

    Things to worry about would be a back door cover. But this match-up is completely lobsided, and this Wyoming team is at its lowest point so far this season. Wyoming averages 9 points per game and has a very tough time passing the ball. They have only 676 passing yards this season, which is half of TCU's passing yards this season. TCU also has 1800+ rush yards on the season compared to Wyoming's 1100+. Clearly Wyoming is a running team, and that's too bad for them because TCU has only allowed 168 rushing yards this season, which doesn't seem right, but thats what Yahoo has listed. Wyoming may get shut out today, and TCU will score in many different ways and most likely a pick 6 or two.

    TCU has only allowed double digit scoring twice this year. They took a beating at Oklahoma, but toss that game out and they are phenominal on defense, and pretty consistent offensively. With Wyomings offense being last in the conference, I don't see them scoring more than 14, led alone double digits. And with Wyoming's passing offense, they'll get down early and have to pass, which means TCU will have 3+ INT's today.

    No doubt TCU will score, my issue is them getting up 24-28 and hanging there. I'm always iffy over 27.

    i think TCU certainly can cover but the issue is if they'll get up for the game and do so. I am tempted to take TCU and the over

    I think the Ov is a safer bet than the -32, as Wyoming may get 10, and then all TCU needs is 34 instead of 44. I'm thinking 24-7 by half, and then they coast home for the Ov.

    TCU by 35+. As everyone is seeing with the blowouts today it is time for teams to make statements. As florida showed, no one is going to receive mercy in hopes of jumping someone in the polls. I see TCU trying to get to 60 this game.

    I put 1.5 units on Ov. 42.5. I also did a parlay PSU -2 & Ov 42.5 for 2 units.

    I went with the TCU over and bought it down to 41 1/2. I think TCU will score 42 by themselves. I think if Wyoming gets 7 or more, that is just a huge plus as they have a terrible offense and I don't expect them to score more than 3.

    Wyoming won't put up more than 7. better hope TCU does what I think they will do and put up 45+.

    TCU has the #1 rated defense in the country.

    Wyomings offense is a joke.

    I didn't get a play in on this game because I got caught up doing some things and traveling. We'll see how it turns out.

    they'll be up by 17 or 21 at the half and will make you hang on the edge of your seat until games end...never an easy win with a spread that big...i am on tcu tho

    although i might get more worried if Wyoming scores again because they haven't given up more than 45 points all year...and that is against a couple teams that should have gotten more.

    I think they run away with it. 12 more pts to 43, which I hope they get by about halfway through the 3rd Q.

    I'm sitting at 5-1, with Ov 42.5, PSU -2, and the parlay left. GL all, I'm off to catch up with a friend.
