Turnover Margin Per Game: Baylor +1.2 > TCU -0.3
Strength of schedule:
Baylor is (6-1) with wins over Northwestern State, SMU, Rice, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, and Kansas. Their lone loss was on the road versus Texas. TCU is (4-4) with wins over South Dakota State, Iowa State, SMU, and Kansas. They were defeated by Arkansas, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Texas Tech.
Summary:
TCU enters the game having lost three of their last four games. Their prolific passing attack should help them put up points on the Baylor defense. TCU has yet to have a signature win this season and have lost every big game so far. Baylor is coming off their first and only loss of the season on the road against Texas. Baylor ranks as a top 20 team both offensively and defensively. The Bears also rank as one of the best teams in the country in regards to turnover margin. Baylor has the advantage statistically in nearly every category and should win this game at home.
