Our SMU Mustangs vs TCU Horned Frogs Prediction
TCU may have only played two games this season, but has won by at least three touchdowns in each game. Their offense has been electric this season, averaging 45.0 points per game, and while there might be some concern around their defense, having allowed 21 points to Abilene Christian, their offense more than makes up for this by being able to score points consistently.
SMU, on the other hand, only has one loss this season, that being to Baylor in double overtime. The Mustangs were leading for most of the game, including with about six minutes left, but could not hang on back in Week 2. The Mustangs responded with an 18-point win against Missouri State in Week 3; however, this game against TCU will be a much tougher test.
The Mustangs have had moments this season of looking like a great team, but having already had trouble closing out a game, our SMU Mustangs vs TCU Horned Frogs prediction is: TCU Horned Frogs ML.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
