Betting Pick & Score Prediction
The Baylor Bears can really get rolling. When things are going well, they are tough to stop. The defense for Baylor is one of the best they have had under Scott Drew. The Bears are still a contender to win the Big 12, and if they want any chance, they have to win this game at home over the Horned Frogs.
TCU is having a great season. The Horned Frogs may make the NCAA Tournament, and will likely win 20 games. The problem is – this is a game they are not going to win. The Bears are too deep and too athletic for the Horned Frogs. The final bet in this game is the Baylor Bears -7.5 over the TCU Horned Frogs.
