Texas football looks to keep its playoff dreams alive vs. TCU football on Saturday.
After nearly falling in Lubbock, Texas football looks to get right against TCU football Saturday.
The No. 9 Texas Longhorns are one of only three undefeated teams in a lousy Big 12. Non-conference play was not kind to the Big 12 this year, as Texas, the Baylor Bears and the Oklahoma State Cowboys are the only teams without a blemish on their resume before the first Saturday in October. Texas hopes to improve to 3-0 (2-0) with a big win at home over the TCU Horned Frogs.
Here is how to watch the Horned Frogs vs. the No. 9 Longhorns online.

Texas will be laying 10.5 points at home to the visiting Horned Frogs. The associated money lines for this game are Texas -380 and TCU +290. The over/under for this game comes in at a combined 63 points. This game opened with Texas being a 13-point home favorite, but the near upset loss on the road to the Texas Tech Red Raiders has knocked it down a bit. Odds are from Odds Shark.
Despite Texas being the presumptive favorite in this one, keep in mind that TCU narrowly lost its season opener at home to the Iowa State Cyclones. Texas could easily be 1-1 (0-1) and TCU could be 1-0 (1-0) had things gone different last week. So take the Horned Frogs getting 10.5 points and bet the over for good, old-fashioned Big 12 barn burner. This one will give us more than 70 points.
Texas won’t score nearly as much as it did against Texas Tech last week, but it will still be a strong game out of Heisman Trophy contending quarterback Sam Ehlinger. He’ll combine for five total touchdowns on the afternoon. That half-point you’re getting from the oddsmakers will be crucial, as the Horned Frogs will cover by losing on the road by only 10 points in Austin.
Prediction: Texas 41, TCU 31
