TCU vs Baylor ......Seems theres a lot of amnesia in this forum.....

I love this site and you guys, but damn.

TCU has had the nations top defense 3 years in a row. Thats something you can hang your hat on. Sure they have to replace Dalton on offense, but they are going against a defense that is quite similar to warm swiss cheese.

Patterson vs Briles.....not even gonna go there

Yes, this is a revenge game for Baylor. However, almost every game they played last year and a lot this year will be "revenge" games because they lose so much.

Baylor lost its last 4 games of the season to decent competition and got manhandled by a soso Illinois squad in the bowl game. Meanwhile, TCU stuffed a pretty stout Wisky running attack......

Baylor and Art Briles are simply outclassed. TCU smoked them last year and this year will be no different. Lots of people think this is the year Baylor gets it done. R Griffin is a stud, but against this defense he wont be enough.

TCU 34 Baylor 20

TCU -3 (-120)

Baylor fan here, but agree TCU should win this one by 10+ and easily cover the spread.

Hope the Bears can pull off the upset though.

Ive been wrong many times Boom, so a Baylor su win wouldnt shock me at all. Just dont see it tonight, but thats why they play the games.

Line opened at 6.5 why the big movement?

And where did you get -3.

Same old Train.

TCU will run the ball right at them and push them around like last year, RGIII is solid but Baylor is still Baylor

Best of luck on this call, and I don't say this often, but I am going to have to disagree with you on this one.  Give Gary Patterson time to prepare and he will figure out a way to slow down RGIII.  The problem with RGIII is that if a team hits him, he gets jittery and struggles a bit (at least this was the case last year).  It happened against TCU last year, it happened against OU and it happened in the second half against A&M.  Add-in that an already bad defense lost their only strong player on that side of the ball to the draft, and I just don't see it.

I could be wrong, but I don't think so in this case.  On a side note, if I am wrong, I will be back to give you props on this pick.

I just saw the word "guaranteeing" above...TCU is a lock now.
