Watch the 40-second breakdown

TCU can challenge West Virginia through the air. Its running game and recent scoring leave room for doubt.

Read the explanation and sources

TCU averages 8.70 yards per pass attempt. West Virginia allows 10.22. Those separate season averages suggest an opening in the passing game; they are not a prediction for this game.

The risks: TCU averages only 3.2 yards per carry. West Virginia scores 3.01 points per drive, compared with TCU’s 2.14. And TCU scored 13, 10 and 17 in its last three games. Moving the ball still has to turn into points.

The saved Week 8 model projects TCU by 22.57 against a captured −8 spread, a 14.57-point gap. That meets Week 8’s 14-point C1 rule. C1 measures model–market disagreement, not the chance of covering.
