The TCU Horned Frogs are 8-0 ATS after a straight-up loss<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

TCU looks to bounce back from a 56-53 overtime loss to the Texas Tech Red Raiders as 2.5-point home favorites, while the team has gone OVER the total in three consecutive games.\u00a0 \u201cWelcome to the Big 12,\u201d stated Horned Frogs head coach Gary Patterson after suffering consecutive home losses in a single season for the first time since 1998.\u00a0 The Horned Frogs are set to leave the state of Texas for just the second time this season, as they\u2019ve won their last 14 conference road games.\u00a0 TCU is 3-0 ATS after allowing 37 or more points in its last game.<\/p>\n

The Horned Frogs and Cowboys rank first and second respectively in terms of having the nation\u2019s longest active streak of scoring at least 20 points in a game.\u00a0 TCU has tallied a 22-6 record in regular-season games following a loss under Patterson\u2019s direction, but this time may be different.\u00a0 The program is tied with the Texas Longhorns in having played 16 true freshmen this year.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma State has won two straight games for the first time this season, coming off a 31-10 win over the Iowa State Cyclones as 14-point home favorites, while going UNDER the total for the second consecutive week.\u00a0 Quarterback J.W. Walsh threw for 415 yards, but is now out for the season with a knee injury.\u00a0 The Cowboys have gone 11-9-2 all-time against the Horned Frogs, as the two campuses are separated by just 267 miles.\u00a0 Oklahoma State is 8-2 ATS as a home favorite of 3.5 to 10 points since 2010.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys will need to rely heavily on running back Joseph Randle, who happens to be the Big 12 Conference\u2019s leading rusher in averaging 127.5 yards per game, while sitting eighth nationally.\u00a0 Oklahoma State has won 14 of its last 17 conference games, which has pushed head coach Mike Gundy\u2019s record to 35-25 against league competition.\u00a0 In the last two games, the defense has limited opponents to a combined 24 points, allowing them to convert on just 11 of 42 third and fourth-down opportunities.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Horned Frogs due to their 8-0 ATS mark following a loss, while the Cowboys are 0-5 ATS after a SU win of 20 or more points.<\/p>\n
