The TCU Horned Frogs (5-3, 3-2) travel to Waco on Saturday to take on their rival the Baylor Bears (4-4, 2-3). The game is at 7 p.m. at McLane Stadium and can be seen on ESPN2.

This will be the 120th meeting between the two programs. TCU has played Baylor more than any other opponent. It is also in the Top 15 of most-played rivalry games in FBS and is the second-longest-running rivalry in the Big 12, only behind Kansas/Kansas State, which has played 122 times. TCU holds a 59-53-7 advantage in the rivalry's history. TCU is 30-24-1 when playing on the road in the series.

Our staff believes it will be a one-score game. Most of the staff picked TCU, but a couple of the team think the win will go to the Bears. Our average point differential is less than five points.

Last week, thanks to TCU's late comeback, 14 of us won. Mac came the closest with his prediction of TCU 38—Texas Tech 35 (the final was TCU 35—Tech 34). Brett remains at the top of our leaderboard with a 5-3 record, one closest prediction, and four games picked within ten points of the final score. Brett, however, is only one of two of us who predicted a Baylor win. If the Frogs pull out the victory, he will lose his spot on the leaderboard.
