TCU Football at Houston: Staff Predictions And Game Previews

Our staff makes their picks as the Horned Frogs travel to Houston in Week Three of the college football season.

The TCU Horned Frogs got the well-needed win last week over Nicholls State. This week, they hit the road for their first conference game, taking on the Houston Cougars on Saturday at 7 p.m. CT.

It's the renewal of a rivalry between the two teams. TCU and Houston were in the Southwest Conference from 1976-1995 and in Conference USA from 2001-2004. Houston leads the series 13-12, but the Frogs have won the last eight meetings.

TCU is currently a -7.5-point favorite. But how does our staff feel the game will go?

In Week 2, our entire staff picked TCU, so everyone enters Week 3 at 1-1. For the third straight week, TCU was the unanimous pick from our staff.
