Northwestern Wildcats vs TCU Horned Frogs Point Spread Picks

Northwestern continues their early season success, as the Wildcats enter at 4-0, but the competition certainly gets called into question. The Wildcats have used the talent advantage over their first four opponents to shoot the ball at an unsustainable pace, especially as the level of competition increases. TCU will provide that answer today as the Horned Frogs are off to a 4-1 start themselves. TCU will test the Wildcats’ patience with their methodical style, which has slowed the pace in each game. That slow pace has seen their five opponents tally an average of just 48.2 points per game. That makes a double-digit spread here very difficult to tackle, with the game projection being one of a slow-down tempo. The Wildcats are just 1-5 ATS in their last six out-of-conference games, and have a tall task to tumble the huge number in a slow-paced contest. Play on TCU.
