This is a 10* BIG 12 GOW on TCU.

I'm a "situational" handicapper at hear, and this one falls right into my wheelhouse. There are a lot of external things going on in this contest, and when you take into account all of the different factors, I do definitely feel we're getting great value here by grabbing the points.

First off, TCU is 5-6. This is it. The odds are against it here facing the 9-2 Sooners, but clearly the Horned Frogs won't be rolling over.

And for Oklahoma, it barely held on for the 31-24 win at BYU last week as a 24-point favorite. I had BYU in that one.

The Sooners though could easily be distracted here, as they'll need either Texas or Oklhoma State to falter this week to get a chance at the conference championship game. And they're both double-digit home favorites. It's not going to happen, and so I absolutely wonder where the energy levels for the home side will be at in this one, despite it being Seniors night.

Regardless, in a contest that I see being much more competitive than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe, I'm grabbing the points with TCU.

Good luck, NP
