The TCU Horned Frogs won their first conference game last week against Houston. This week, it's the Battle of the Iron Skillet, as the SMU Mustangs come to town. The game will be played at Amon G. Carter Stadium on Saturday, September 23, at 11 a.m. CT. 

This will be the 102nd time the two teams have met on the gridiron. TCU leads the all-time series 52-42-7. However, SMU has won two of the last three games. 

TCU is currently a -6.5-point favorite. But how does our staff feel the game will go?

In Week 3, our entire staff picked TCU, so everyone is at 2-1 on the season. For the fourth straight week, TCU was the unanimous pick from our team.
