Baylor is a different animal at home and TCU will have a letdown after beating OU.
Baylor ATS at home has been printing money as well.
Make you wonder why TCU is such a big dog
TCU letdown......Blowout city.
Baylor -8.5
I posted something similar in another thread. I'm not saying Patterson has been able to slow them down but the numbers show he knows something about playing them when no one else has been able to do anything with them. I got the points early, hope I don't need them but it should be one heck of a game between a couple schools that dont particularly like one anotherWorth noting that the last 4 years the Baylor offense against TCU has scored:
2010: 10 (45-10 LOSS AT TCU)
2011: 50 (50-48 WIN at Baylor)
2012: 21 (49-21 LOSS at Baylor)
2013: 20 (41-38 WIN at TCU) (Baylor scored 21 points on defense, with 2 pick sixes and a fumble return for a TD)
So their offense has averaged 25.25 against us the last 4 years, and 20.5 the past 2 years. I am not saying that TCU covers, but it is very obvious that Patterson knows what he is doing against Briles and their attack. The one thing that I do know, is if we get beat it won't be because of the "letdown factor". This game has been circled on the calendars for the last year. Patterson has very little respect for Briles, and the one thing that our fan base/players hates the worst is losing to Baylor. I can assure you that Patterson has made the players forget the W this past weekend. Petty seems to be hurt, he won't say it, but it damn sure looked like it last week. Every throw against UT was high. Hardly anybody in the last 15 years has ran the ball against TCU (see Perine for OU last week).
Should be a hell of a game. Good luck with whatever you bet!
They don't like each other at all. And after last year's game Patterson had some choice words for Briles and Baylor's db Ahmad Dixon who they ejected for targeting. No love loss between these two programs dating back to the old Southwest Conference days. Plus TCU has always felt like they were treated like an ugly stepchild for not being chosen to join the Big 12 over Baylor. Should be a great game..I posted something similar in another thread.
