TCU Horned Frogs vs Utah Utes Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/19/24

The TCU Horned Frogs hit the road for Salt Lake City looking to get on track after a 30-19 loss against Houston at home. TCU has dropped 3 of the past 4 games, all inside the Big 12 conference. TCU’s defense has really struggled, allowing 27 or more points in all five games against FBS opponents. It’s a problem trying to stop the run, as they do well against the pass. TCU allows 180.2 rushing yards per game, ranking 106th in the nation, while coughing up 30.8 ppg. On offense it’s a rather unbalanced attack, too, as TCU can pass with the best of them — but it ranks 123rd in the country with just 95.2 yards per game on the ground.

The Utah Utes will be without QB Cam Rising (hand), the super talented but oft-injured QB. He was erratic last week in a 27-19 loss at Arizona State as a -6 favorite and the Utes have dropped 2 in a row, both as favorites and both against the Arizona schools while averaging just 14.5 ppg. QB Isaac Wilson takes the reins of the offense again. The under is 2-0-1 in the past 3 games for the Utes while going 4-1-1 in the past 6 outings. I’ll roll with Wilson and the Utes laying the little bit of points, mainly because of TCU’s struggles defensively.
