At first glance, TCU @ home looks like a great bet. However, this -13.5 line looks all too familiar.. sort of like Miami.
Don't let this trap game fool you, BYU is no joke @ 6-2, with a 1 pt loss against a good Texas team on the road, and an unlikely disaster at Utah.
TCU is not the same team as they were with Andy Dalton running the offense, and are getting far too much credit with this line.
BYU is 30th in the country allowing only 21.5 points per contest. They present a nice balanced pass\run offense, @ 59th and 58th in the country 232\158 yards per game.
TCU is right behind them at 33rd in the country, allowing 21.9 points per contest. This high powered offense ranks 56\18 when it comes to passing\rushing, and ranks among the best @ 8th in scoring with 43.6 points per contest.
Despite the impressive offensive stats of TCU, they put up 69 on a horrible New Mexico team, and all of their wins are against lowly teams, while losing when playing decent competition (SMU, Baylor).
I see this line moving to 14 or -14.5 before gametime, as the public does not think the same thing will happen that did to the Hurricanes, and plan on taking the BYU Cougars +21-21.5 and the UNDER 63.5-64.5 in a 7 point teaser just to be safe.
I could see BYU winning this game straight up, like Virginia. Cash it, don't fall for the classic betting trap. BOL
