1. vs. West Virginia Mountaineers (Away)
Prediction: TCU wins 38-27
Why: TCU has shown they can score and win on the road; West Virginia has struggled defensively in the Big 12. If TCU controls the clock and avoids turnovers, they should pull this out.
2. vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders (Home)
Prediction: TCU wins 31-24
Why: Playing at home gives TCU an edge. Texas Tech is dangerous offensively, but TCU’s defense and home-field atmosphere should just tip the balance.
3. vs. BYU Cougars (Away)
Prediction: TCU loses 28-34
Why: Long travel + hostile environment + BYU’s disciplined style = a tough road test. I think TCU will fight hard but come up a bit short here.
4. vs. Houston Cougars (Away)
Prediction: TCU wins 35-21
Why: Houston has pockets of strength, but if TCU comes in focused and avoids trap-game complacency, they should handle this one solidly.
Overall outlook
That gives TCU a predicted 3-1 finish in those four games. That would be a strong closing stretch. Key factors are: limiting turnovers, winning the run game or at least keeping it balanced, and playing clean on special teams.
