The Baylor Bears will travel to Fort Worth to take on the TCU Horned Frogs on Friday night. Kickoff for the Big 12 game is scheduled for 7:30 PM ET on 11/27/15. The odds on this game opened with the Horned Frogs a 1.5 to 2-point favorite depending on the sportsbook with the total line set at 79 points.
Baylor is coming off of a 45-35 victory over the Oklahoma State last week getting the money for their backers easily covering the 3-point spread. The 80 points scored in the game crossed over the total line for the second straight OVER to bring their record to 7-3 versus the O/U line.
TCU lost a close one 30-29 on the road to a very good Oklahoma team getting the money as a 19-point underdog. The 59 points fell below the 64 total line for the fourth UNDER for the Horned Frogs in their last five games. On the season TCU is 5-6 versus the over/under line.
These two teams have met the last five seasons with Baylor holding a 3-2 edge straight up, but TCU holding the edge against the point spread covering four of the five matches. The OVER has been a profitable bet, cashing in four consecutive games in this series.
Here are some team statistics to ponder.
Baylor has the No.1 scoring offense and leads the FBS in total offensive yards. They’ve compiled the 4th most rushing yards and rank No. 9 for passing yards. On the other side of the ball the Bears numbers are not very impressive ranking 87th in scoring defense allowing 30.7 points per game and a poor 94th in the nation in passing yards allowed.
TCU’s offensive numbers are similar to Baylor’s ranking 6th in scoring offense with 42.9 points per game, third for total yards and fifth in passing yards. Defensively the Horned Frogs have done a better job than the Bears ranking 62nd in scoring defense allowing 26.5 points per game and ranking 68th in total yards allowed.
