Bowl Record 3-1 +2.9 units
I see alot of love for LT Tech and i do think they were an under-valued team during the regular season. I played them a few times and cashed as i dont think people were privy to how good they were on the defensive side of the ball. But, i dont think they're under-valued here as i kind of think they're over-valued with everyone jumping on board. I dont see many at all wanting TCU tonight. I have heard from everyone that TCU will lack motivation. (Which could potentially happen).
But it's not like bookmakers don't know the story here. I don't think they dropped the line because of that, yet dropped it because of some money on the dog. (who might have questioned their desire to be here). I have a hard time believing that coach Patterson won't get a good game out of his players and if they do not cover.....it might just be because LT Tech played a great game instead of them lacking motivation.
When capping football i like to see who can rush and who doesnt turn the ball over. IF you can win in both of those categories then you will win alot more then you will lose. TCU had one game that they didn't rush for 135 yards and that was against Boise (where they still won).
They also only had one game in which they had more turnovers......(They still won that game too).
So even when these factors don't go in their favor they still find ways to win. I like them under 10.5 tonight and hopefully i am right. As of this minute it looks as if Pinny will go back down to 9.5 which will bring the market down too i suppose.
TCU -9.5
