Kansas Jayhawks at TCU Horned Frogs Prediction

The Horned Frogs haven’t played much this season and when they did they faltered losing to the Mustangs by 1+2.5 dog. They are at home for this match, but I feel that the Jayhawks who have won 10 straight by more than today’s handicap a solid choice in this spot.
