The TCU Horned Frogs (6-4, 4-3) play their penultimate game of the season on Saturday afternoon when they host the Arizona Wildcats (4-6, 2-5). The game is at 2 p.m. on Saturday and can be seen on ESPN+.

This will only be the 3rd meeting between the two programs. Each team has won once and did so on the road. The No. 15 Wildcats won 35-31 at TCU in 1999, before the 19th-ranked Horned Frogs took a 13-10 overtime decision in Tucson in 2003.

The Frogs are now bowl eligible, but they hope to improve on their record to secure a bigger bowl game. However, the Wildcats need to win both of their remaining games to become bowl eligible and will be fighting to do just that. Our staff is almost unanimous in picking TCU to win this one. And by our predictions, the Frogs will win by double digits. Our average margin is 11+ points.

Two weeks ago, Tanner and Tori both came within seven points to win the prediction over Oklahoma State. The actual score was TCU 38 - OSU 13. Tanner's guess was TCU 38 - OSU 20, and Tori's was TCU 35 - OSU 17. Brett and Ryann continue to sit atop our leaderboard, both at 7-3. However, Brett has an over 50-point advantage in total differential, so he has a firm grip on first place.
