West Virginia vs TCU Betting Prediction

West Virginia has struggled this season and they only have three conference wins so far, while TCU is right in the middle of the Big 12 race. TCU is on a two game losing streak, scoring only 59 and 66 points, but they are averaging 81.8 points per game and they are shooting 48.6% from the field. West Virginia is only shooting 41.4% from the field and they just lost by 36 points on the road against Texas. I think this is a spot for TCU to fix some things and I like them to win in a blowout.
