Utah Utes vs. TCU Horned Frogs Betting Pick: November 6th 2008

Free Pick: Utah vs. TCU u43.0 - Thursday November 6th ‘08 8:00p
It’s the game of the year in the the Mountain West Conference as the 10th-ranked Utah Utes and 11th-ranked TCU Horned Frogs collide. The winner will have the inside track to earning a BCS bid. Both teams are unbeaten in conference play and Utah is a perfect 9-0 overall compare to 9-1 TCU. The two teams share the Mountain West lead but TCU can clinch at least a share of the conference title with a victory. Utah on the other hand, would still need to win at least one more game to earn a share of the crown. The Utes have won nine straight home games and are off to their best start in four years when they finished 12-0. However Utah struggled offensively last weeks 13-10 win over New Mexico. They had a muffed punt, a late interception that killed a potential touchdown drive and nine penalties. The Utes offense didn’t have much success in last season’s meeting with TCU and could have their hands full against tonight against an outstanding TCU defense. The Horned Frogs rank third in the nation in scoring defense (10.8 points per game), and second in total defense (214.5 ypg). Its run defense, which leads the nation with 38.9 yards allowed per game, will be tested by a Utah team that has rushed for 520 yards over its last two games. In what should be a tight, close to the vest game, I’m taking the UNDER in this key MWC showdown.
