Houston Offense Still Seeking a Spark

This season has been nothing short of a disaster so far for the Houston Cougars. They are 1-4 overall and 0-2 in the Big 12 heading into Friday night's Houston vs TCU matchup. Perhaps more concerning than Houston's record has been the play of its offense, which has been shut out in two straight games against conference opponents. In this contest, the Cougars will look to finally get on the scoreboard in conference play as they hope to pull off an upset to get into the win column for just the second time this year.

Pivotal Game for TCU In the Big 12

TCU is 3-2 so far this season and 1-1 in the Big 12. The Horned Frogs evened their record in conference play with a road win over Kansas last week, where a punt return touchdown and some explosive plays on offense made the difference in the second half. This week, TCU will hope to have an easier time on defense than they have for most of this season. They have allowed 35 or more points in two of their last three games, but will feel disappointed giving up any points given how the last two games have gone in conference play for Houston.

Houston vs TCU Betting Pick

Based on how the Houston offense has played in the Big 12, simply scoring 17 points would be enough for TCU to cover the number here. We will lay the points with the home favorite in this Houston vs TCU matchup. While we don't expect the Horned Frogs to pitch another shutout, we also can't rule it out as they should hold Houston largely in check en route to a convincing victory.
