It's a daunting task for the Frogs. This week, they host the No. 7 Texas Longhorns (8-1, 5-1). The game is Saturday, November 11, at 6:30 p.m. in Fort Worth. It can be seen on ABC.

TCU has a long history with Texas, having played each other 95 times. That's the third most of any opponent in TCU history, only behind Baylor (118) and SMU (102). Sure, Texas owns the all-time record at 64-28-1. However, since the Frogs joined the Big 12 in 2012, TCU has an 8-3 record over Texas. Can TCU play spoiler once again to Texas?

Texas is currently an 11.5-point favorite per SISportsbook.com. But how does our staff feel the game will go?

In Week 10, five of our staff picked Texas Tech to win, while seven picked TCU. After nine games, Andrew remains at the top of our leaderboard with a 6-3 record and two closest score predictions. This week, most of our staff thinks that Texas will be victorious.
