Our approach to college football handicapping is mostly statistical. That being said, we don’t have enough data to accurately predict early season Games. So, there’s a little guesswork involved the first few weeks. While Our numbers from a year ago, suggest that Texas Tech is the right side getting points at home, we’re going to side with TCU and the revenge angle in this spot. TCU -3
