Any word on the status of Dalton?  Everyone is talking about how TCU/BYU is going to win, but no one has said a word about the questionable QB.  Any information on this will be very helpful

BYU might have lost in OT.. 

Yes TCU lost to Oklahoma at home but it is Oklahoma. And the reason why i didnt mention them is because TCU lost to them at HOME. But since u got me started, TCU let Sam Bradford throw for 4 TDs and 411 yds. How many TDS and PASSING YDS  DO YOU THINK WILL MAX HALL HAVE TONITE ????

LIKE I SAID BYU WILL WIN BUT IT WILL BE CLOSE

The following is from whatifsports, which for those that don't know does 10,000 computer simulation games for each game every week to determine a projected outcome:

"#23 BYU 16 @ #19 TCU 20
#115, #106, #105, #102 and #100. Those are the power rankings of all of BYU's opponents up to this point in the season (they did play FCS Northern Iowa as well). There are only 21 teams with a ranking of 100 or higher and the Cougars have somehow been able to face five of them. Take their gaudy numbers with a couple gallons of salt. TCU is a little different. At least they have played a team in the top 60 (#3 Oklahoma). Including that game against a top five team, the Horned Frogs are holding opposing teams to a ridiculous 0.95 yards per rush. They also lead the nation in sacks and have forced three more turnovers than scores allowed. At home Thursday night on national television with a chance to knock off an undefeated team, TCU is in perfect position to win this game. Just don't refer to it as an upset. TCU is the better team. The Horned Frogs 57.4% of the time and by an average score of 20-16." 

Also, my book started at TCU +2.5 and now has them -1 and the O/I went from 47.5 to 45 this afternoon.  Hope TCU gets back to being the home underdog tonight.  Either way I'm still taking them with the under.

I got BYU -1. I don't see BYU getting points anywhere. Either way, I see it being BYU 31-14 or 17 and making the total over 43.5 either way.

I got BYU -1, big and the over, small.

BYU 27  TCU 23
 
Should be a tough fought game.  Max Hall put up numbers last year on this team.  I like him to do it again this year.

With the line movement this could be a good place to tease BYU to +7.5 and over 37.5

I also took TCU +1.5 earlier this week and now I'm rolling my bet.
 
BYU +2
 
Hope the outcome will be TCU by 1 point.

I think TCU is the pick here. TCU is far and away the toughest team that BYU has had to play all year, and BYU has to face them at their house in front of a raucous crowd on a Thursday night. Strength of schedule plays a big role in team's performances, especially at the college level. TCU has arguably played one of the best few teams in the country already, while BYU hasn't played anybody of significance. Their biggest road test this year came against Washington, which they won on a bogus call by one point. On top of that, the line movement seems to be a little shady.
