My TCU vs. Arizona prediction calls for a Friday night rock fight as the Horned Frogs head to Tucson after a close call against Kansas.

My top Week 10 college football picks favor the Horned Frogs to keep this one within the number in what could be a low-scoring affair.

Kickoff is set for 10:15 p.m. ET Friday, Nov. 6, on ESPN.

 TOP PICK
Who will win TCU vs Arizona: TCU +7.5

With a spread of nearly double digits on some markets and a total in the low 40s, it's hard to stray from the dog here. It's also tough to back a team that somehow won 22-16 despite being outgained by nearly 200 yards against Kansas the week before.

However, TCU finds itself in the meat of a sandwich spot for Arizona, as the Wildcats are coming off a loss to Texas Tech and have Utah on deck next week. Arizona could have its foot off the gas in this ballgame.

The Horned Frogs' defense should be able to clean up its mess from a week ago and lock in against this very talented Wildcats offense. TCU ranks inside the top 15 in points allowed, red zone scoring, yards per play, and completion percentage.

TCU is playable down to 7.5.

Covers COVERS INTEL: TCU leads the Big 12 in limiting explosive plays allowed, giving up just 39 this season.

TCU vs Arizona Over/Under pick: Under 44.5

There is no way the Horned Frogs will be able to keep up with the Wildcats if their defense doesn't bring its A-game.

TCU is nearly allowing as many points as it scores this season. The Horned Frogs rank ninth in points allowed per game, surrendering 15.1, while ranking 126th in points scored, averaging just 17.6.

If their defense can't find a way to slow down a Wildcats offense averaging nearly 35 points per game, this could get real ugly. However, Sonny Dykes should have his team cleaned up and prepared following an ugly win over Kansas.

Both teams play at a relatively slow pace. Arizona ranks 123rd in seconds per drive across its first three drives, while TCU ranks 56th. Overall, both teams rank in the bottom half nationally in pace.

Playable to 42.5

TCU vs Arizona combo

This likely won't be the Friday night thriller we're all hoping to sweat out late at a bar, but it should be an all-out rock fight from start to finish. That's why backing the dog at more than a touchdown, paired with the first-half under and full-game under, is the move at 4.00x.
