For Kansas vs. TCU, the model projects that the Horned Frogs stay within the 9-point spread. Despite Kansas holding a 25-4 edge all-time in the series straight up, TCU has found some success against the Jayhawks recently. TCU has two wins, both coming by double digits, against Kansas since 2022.
The Horned Frogs also have a five-point and a four-point loss to the Jayhawks during that span, so there's plenty of evidence they can keep this game competitive.
Kansas also hasn't beaten a power-conference school by more than nine points this season, so this is a big number for the Jayhawks to handle. SportsLine's model is projecting that TCU's offense, which ranks fourth in the Big 12 at 85.8 points per game, keeps this game competitive as the Horned Frogs cover in well over 50% of simulations.
