TCU Horned Frogs (1-1) at Houston Cougars (1-1)

Saturday, 7:00 p.m. CT, FOX

The first game of conference play might not be too competitive. Houston was down 28-0 at one point to Rice last week. That should tell you all you need to know about their team and defense. The Cougars’ offense is potent enough to put some points on the board, but I give them virtually no chance to beat TCU.

Final Score Prediction: 48-27, TCU

Big 12 Football Record: 11-2
