This is a big revenge game for Texas, which lost 17-10 to the Horned Frogs in 2022 and the Longhorns still have playoff hopes with an 8-1 record and coming off a thrilling 33-30 overtime victory over Kansas State. Bert Auburn kicked a 42-yard field goal in OT and then the Longhorns stopped the Wildcats on fourth down from the four. Texas had blown a 27-7 lead, but held on and QB Maalik Murphy threw for 248 yards and a TD for the Longhorns. Starting QB Quinn Evers could return this week after missing two games with a shoulder sprain. TCU is just 3-6 ATS and it has lost four of its past five games outright following a 35-28 defeat against Texas Tech last Thursday. The Horned Frogs yielded 428 total yards and they have allowed 76 points their past two games against Kansas State and the Red Raiders. TCU is 0-4 ATS its past four games after allowing more than 280 yards passing its previous game. Make it a Max Play on Texas.

Pro Picks
Texas at TCU
Running the football chews up yards and the clock, and in this Big 12 rivalry game, both squads are outstanding at running the pigskin, averaging over 200 yards rushing. Texas comes off that 70-35 rout of defenseless Texas Tech, but the Longhorns are 24-11 UNDER the total after allowing 280+ yards passing, as well as 20-7 UNDER following a spread win. The Texas defense has been good, allowing 23.2 points per game. Texas is 16-6 UNDER the total on natural grass and 40-19 UNDER against winning teams. TCU's defense is allowing 25.7 points per contest behind disruptive DE Ochaun Mathis (9 sacks last season), LB Dee Winters, and Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson in the secondary in coach Gary Patterson's 4-2-5 scheme. TCU is also 16-3 UNDER the total at home against defenses that allow 4.75 yards rushing per carry. Play this game to stay UNDER the total for a Max Play.

Pro Picks
Texas at TCU
This Texas team had high expectations but at 5-2 don't appear to be as good as predicted. The Longhorns are out-gaining opponents by just 11 yards per game on the season. TCU is always trouble at home, and the defense has been the team's signature under Gary Patterson. It is no different this season as TCU is allowing just 281 yards per game and 260 yards at a stingy 4.1 yards per play at home. This total implies that the winner is going to have to be in the 30s and I don't see either team managing to get there. Coach Patterson is 54-37 to the UNDER since he came to TCU if off a loss. Make the play on the UNDER.
