Overview
- Betting markets list TCU as the favorite with DraftKings odds showing the Horned Frogs at about -230 on the moneyline and a 6-point spread in their favor.
- TCU’s defense is the Big 12’s stingiest unit, allowing about 13.9 points per game and surrendering more than 20 points in only two games this season.
- Offense has faltered despite big yardage totals, as TCU has lost four games by eight points or fewer and produced turnovers at key moments including a late Jaden Craig fumble that ended a recent comeback attempt.
- Coach Sonny Dykes moved to address those finishing issues this week by firing co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach A. J. Ricker.
- Kansas arrives off a 25-24 win over Baylor capped by a late touchdown and a blocked field goal, but the Jayhawks still trail the series and both teams need multiple wins over the remaining schedule to reach typical six-win bowl eligibility.
