TCU #18 (10-2, 7-0 MWC) v Louisiana Tech (8-4, 6-1 WAC)
Betting
The TCU Horned Frogs opened up at -12.5 at some shops but that didn't last long with some early support for Louisiana Tech. The number has settled around the -10.5 and -11 area for the past week or so.
The last couple of days however the number has dropped and at the time of writing TCU are around -8.5 and -9 point favourites.
The total game score has floated around the opening number of 55.5 and 56.
Vegasinsider.com has 92% of the action on the over and 60% spread betting on TCU.
Notes
TCU certainly would have preferred being involved in a game a little later in the rotation after beating Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl last year.
However an opening season loss against Baylor and loss against SMU on October 1 has left TCU with a third appearance in the Poinsettia Bowl.
TCU come up against an a Louisiana Tech Bulldogs program that is riding a 7 game streak.
TCU cannot afford to coast in this game against a talented Bulldogs squad. Add in co-offensive coordinator Justin Fuente who has taken on the head coaching role at Memphis is is a tricky spot for the Horned Frogs.
One player to keep an eye on is TCU senior linebacker Tank Carder who collected his second conference defensive player of the year award this season after recording 66 tackles and 2 interceptions.
