TCU is 5-1 ATS in their last six conference games and 5-1 ATs in their last six games overall. The under is 4-1 in their last five games after an ATS win.
We understand the case one could make for K-State. The thing however is that we do not think that we are getting enough points for us to consider K-State in the underdog spot. TCU has encountered adversity over and over and over and over again, against their opponents in the course of the season.
This may be one of their stiffest challenges thus far, but we think it is one that FCU can and will overcome. Take the Horned Frogs in this here college football game to keep their CFP hopes alive and well.
