Texas Tech vs. TCU Prediction and Odds for College Football Week 10 (Bet on Both Offenses to Thrive)
By Reed Wallach
TCU's undefeated season continued on Saturday, getting a late cover with a garbage time touchdown against West Virginia on the road, winning 41-31.
The Horned Frogs remain big favorites as they play host to Texas Tech, who comes off a 45-17 blowout loss at home to Baylor. Will the Red Raiders recover to upset the Horned Frogs?
Joey McGuire's team has been frisky as an underdog this season, beating the likes of Texas and covering against Oklahoma State. Can they cover against this highly ranked opponent?
Here are the odds for this Big 12 showdown with a sky high total:

Texas Tech vs. TCU Prediction and Pick
Even with a total hanging around 70, I'm still siding with the over. TCU has scored 38 or more points every single game this season and will playing the second-fastest team (Oklahoma State is first) in terms of plays per minute, running nearly three plays per minute on the year. The Red Raiders want to play as fast as possible and the Horned Frogs will be a willing dance partner, second in yards per play and top 15 in both explosive rush and pass rate.
The Red Raiders couldn't stay out of their own way against Baylor, committing five turnovers in the 45-17 loss, but should do better against TCU's defense that is a bit overrated in the market. The team is bottom half of the country in yards per play allowed, tackles for loss and explosive pass defense.
I think there will be chunk plays all over and this game soars over the total with both teams pushing 40 points with a ton of possessions.
