Most played rivalry in Texas. The toads v. the Bears. Purple v. Green. Take a stab at it. What's your guess? GO!

No clue what to expect. These have historically been very close scores. I'll go 23 - 20 BU

17-3 Bears

27-10, bears in a frog strangler.

31-17 Bears

no matter how good Baylor is on paper and how bad TcU is on paper, TcU always shows up for this game. We are their superbowl. Both coming off bye-weeks and will be fresh. TcU's defense is really strong, so it depends on what version of DJ we get that will dictate this game. Will we get 2025 DJ throwing 5 INTs in a game or the ASU DJ that was great!! I never know how to predict these games, but i do think that Baylor has the edge because TcUs offense is garbage and i believe that we are the more well rounded team- plus a night game, in waco, on a blackout.. im predicting:

Bears- 27
Losers up north- 20

19-10 Baylor in defensive struggle. Difference is QB quality (Lagway) and Palmer Williams (tipping the field position in our favor.) The only way TCU wins are big plays and getting turnovers or crazy coaching decisions foregoing points with 4th down tries.

I'm going to go 27-13 Baylor. I think we build on the offensive progress we showed against Arizona State and find ways to put together enough scoring drives to put this away early in the fourth quarter.

I also think we bottle up the TCU offense similarly to how we did Colorado.

And we all celebrate an exorcism after the game.

Williams is a massive weapon, and our newfound willingness to use him is a giant unheralded advantage.

17-21 Bears.

But this is a toss-up. According to opponent adjusted efficiency rankings, Baylor is only 7 spots ahead of TCU.

Baylor 23
TCU 19

28-17 BU

28-20 Baylor

Bu- 31 Tcu -14 Go Bears! Stomp the ant eaters!!!

31-21 Baylor.
Should be a great game.
Has been so in the past.

Games never seem to go the way most people expect.....therefore

Grey Clad Sic'em Bears 36
Purple Tcu fancy toads 24

BU- 42
TCWho-7
I like being ridiculous

Ridiculous you say? How about another 61-58?
Sic em!

I would love to see us jump on them early and put an ASU level whipping on them - but I don't think that's going to happen. I'll go with 24-17 Bears in a mostly defensive struggle with our offensive playmakers making just enough plays to seal the W.

To quote the late great Coach John McKay
"I'm all for it!!"

This has all the makings of a defensive struggle. Baylor has every incentive to play conservatively and try to wear them down in the second half. I predict it's close through three quarters and we make a couple big plays to pull away late. 20-13 Baylor.

Baylor 27
TCU 23

This is an easier one to predict than one thinks. Bears come out underprepared and a bit flat after a bye week, as is par for Aranda teams, and good 'ol Davo gets too involved with the coordinators and plays an ultra-conservative game in the second half.......while Sonny sic's his offensive tricks all over him. Ending in an embarasing home loss for Aranda and increasing calls for his firing.

27 Frogs
17 Bears

Baylor Bears 45
TCU Horned Frogs 13

We bust another long TD run.

We turn the ball over once but get three takeaways.

Lagway ends up running four times, which is enough to scare the Toads and open things up.

Some stupid moron runs on the field with a "Fire Aranda" banner. One of our players rips it from him and another grabs him until police carry him away. After the game, all the sports shows air that footage over and over.

Playing conservative football against a good defense will get you beat! Playing aggressive will beat down a team much quicker! We have the talent to run them over and pass them silly, and I say DO SO! Go Bears! Beat the ant eaters!

Watch Ou - Ut. If ut just played it safe and kept running the ball they probably win by 10-14. The easiest way an inferior team wins is through turnovers. That's why the incentives are for Baylor to be conservative and tcu aggressive. Not really my advice just the governing dynamics. I still think aggressive tcu doesn't score much and it's low scoring but second most likely outcome is a big Baylor win.

Texas Christian: 22
Baylor: 20

thanks

broke the curse of every pick for BU

Baylor up 17-7 after 3 quarters, we outgain TCU but almost 200 yards.

Field goal after a BU turnover early in the 4th. We go for it 4th and 4 just across midfield with 5 minutes left. We don't get it. TCU scores with a minute left ... makes the 2 point conversion.

Final TCU 18 Baylor 17

Art coached aggressively, look what Baylor did with that style of play ! Conservative style of play is coaching not to lose! It backfires most of the time! Go Bears! Beat the ant eaters!

It won't be 61-58!
