Staff Predictions and Game Previews

Harry October 26, 2024

TCU Horned Frogs (4-3, 2-2) Texas Tech returns home to take on the Red Raiders (5-2, 3-1). The match can be watched on Saturday, October 26 at 14.30 on FOX.

This will be the 67th meeting between the two programs. Tech holds a slight 33-30-3 advantage in the all-time series. The first meeting, a TCU win, occurred in 1926. TCU holds a 20-14 advantage in games played in Fort Worth. Tech won last year’s meeting in Lubbock, 35-28. Between 1961 and 1970, the two teams competed for the Saddler Trophy. In 2017, the Saddle Battle returned to competition as two teams competed for the West Texas Championship saddle.

Our team believes that the match will be a one-score match. Most of the staff picked TCU, but a few on the team think the win will go to the Red Raiders. Our average score difference is less than six points.

Last week, only six of us predicted TCU would win. Believe it or not, our Sports Ignoramus Tyler actually came closest with his prediction of TCU 2 – Utah 0 (the final was TCU 13 – Utah 7). Brett remains at the top of our leaderboard with a 4-3 record, closest prediction and three games picked within 10 points of the final score.
