Sniffing out wins
305 TCU* -20 -110 vs SMU x1
305 TCU/SMU* Under 65 -110 x2
TCU will be without the versatile Turpin due to a knee injury. He has 16 receptions for 196 yards but maybe more importantly, he is one of the nation's top return specialists. He leads the nation in punt-return average (28.8 yards, one TD) and ranks fifth in kickoff returns (32.8 ).He will be missed but I think the TCU still covers easily as QB Hill has thrown for 1035 yards but just four TDs (with three INTs) through three games. He has added six rushing TDs while averaging 6.1 YPC. TCU has run for 215.7 YPG (on 6.1 YPC) and has 13 rushing TDs on the season. However, TCU is averaging 46.0 PPG (12th) on 571.7 YPG (4th).
The Mustangs are also 2-1 to open the 2016 season and while the offense averages 490.7 YPG (28th), it has only translated to 25.3 PPG (ranks 98th!). The defense is allowing 25.0 PPG but is tied for third in the nation with 10 takeaways, including nine INTs. Redshirt freshman QB Ben Hicks has passed for a modest 583 yards with just two TDs and has already been picked off five time. The running game is solid (244.7 YPG on 5.6 YPC) but has produced just three TDs on the ground.
I dont trust SMU's D and I think TCU wins by 24 to 27...call it 41 to 14
