NCAA Football Odds: Oregon State Beavers (+13.5) -110 vs. TCU Horned Frogs (-13.5) -110: Over/Under 50

TCU is going to have the unenviable task of trying to stop the two Rodgers brothers this week, as both James and Jacquizz are back to make life a living hell on the opposition.

These two are simply fantastic, and while Jacquizz is doing all of the flashy work and scoring most of the touchdowns, James does the grunt work of going over the middle for receptions and returning kicks. These two will inevitably come up with at least 300 combined all-purpose yards in this game, as they averaged 330.0 per game a year ago.

Sophomore Ryan Katz is going to be thrown into the mix as the team’s starting quarterback this year, which has to leave the purple and black ‘D’ licking its chops. Katz only went 14-of-27 for 232 yards with a TD in limited work as Sean Canfield’s backup last season.

As for TCU, this is the year that the face of college football can change. The Horned Frogs think they can run the table and not just play in the BCS, but in the BCS Championship Game as well.

The defense is going to be missing two key cogs though, as both Daryl Washington and Jerry Hughes have departed. This is still a unit that isn’t afraid to smack you in the mouth and come after your quarterback on every single play.

On the other side of the ball, the only notable casualty was leading rusher Joseph Tucker. Still, TCU deployed three running backs last year, and Andy Dalton can take off from the pocket as well. It will be up to Dalton to distribute the ball for this offense, which has the potential to put 40+ points up on anyone in the nation whenever it feels like it.

NCAA Football Insider Tip: Oregon State is 23-9 ATS in its L/32 games overall.

Betting against Mike Riley is a tough thing to do, especially when he has the entire summer to prepare for just one game. The Beavers deserve a lot of credit for essentially playing a road game here against one of the best mid-major schools in the country.

Still, we tend to believe that Oregon State is going to get rewarded. It won’t win, but our football odds prediction calls for a closer game than this line suggests. TCU will be in for a fight.
