I don't see one up already so I guess I'll get one going...

Score and turnover margin.

I'm going with TCU 35-29 Pokes. OSU +1 on turnovers.

[Ollie Gordon notwithstanding, the Pokes' rushing offense is 118th nationally, so it's resistible force vs. moveable object for TCU on defense. Pokes' passing defense efficiency is 95th. They've made 10 picks and 3 recovered fumbles in 9 games; they're 78th nationally in turnover margin, we're 128th. I think TCU's offense continues its improved output and ball security, and does enough to win for the third straight game. Unlike last week the defense does just enough in the red zone for TCU to actually win, if only because OSU is no good at all this year. Down two DTs I don't feel very good about picking a win, but we're at least good at one thing; the Pokes appear to be good at nothing.]

I hope you're right, but I think you might be a little optimistic in predicting we will cover the spread.
I think we should win by a couple TDs.
OSU’s running game is worse than ours with Savion, so they will have to rely on Bowman to win.
Believe it or not, TCU is ranked 21st in passing defense yds per game and Bowman is an interception machine under pressure.
TCU has the better QB and OSU is ranked 111th in passing defense yds per game.
 

Double D

Tier 1
D last week at BAILURE really has me concerned. I think we can outscore the POKES but this is going to go down to the wire as well.

POKES 28
TCU 31

I have not watched OSU at all this year but based on what I've seen from the Frogs if the Pokes have any semblance of a power running game it would not surprise me in the least if we lose. I can't get the Baylor game out of my head.

I bet there’s a lot of people who haven’t watched either of these teams this year.
Neither have a very watchable product.
Seems like more of an ESPN+ game than a prime time slot on FS1.

I think we’ve been reasonably entertaining to watch this year. We just aren’t very good, especially when the other team has the ball.
