The set-up: TCU comes out of its bye week and I look for it to match pace with the home side. The Horned Frogs won't be taking anything for granted after having lost three of their last four on the road dating to last year. TCU is 1-0 after beating up on Arkansas-Pine Bluff. So far the Horned Frogs have averaged 200 yards per game and allowed just seven points. But clearly TCU is in for a much stiffer test this evening.

The pick: Purdue has won four of its last five home games. The Boilermakers have gotten 932 yards and nine TD's from QB Elijah Sindelar and I look for the senior QB to open up the playbook tonight as well. He'll have to, as note that Purdue is allowing 29 points and 447.5 YPG on the defensive side of things. TCU comes in rested and focused and knows it can't rest on its heels if it has any hopes at an upset. Considering all of the above factors, I definitely feel this number is a little low.

10* totals play on OVER TCU/Purdue.
