TCU-Kansas State Betting Odds & Preview
The Big 12 Championship is at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Saturday, Dec. 3. Kick-off is scheduled for noon ET.
Considering the campus is less than 20 miles away in Fort Worth and the Horned Frogs have played season-openers at AT&T a handful of times over the past decade, it’s practically a home game for TCU.
Something tells us TCU will need all the home crowd support they can get as all the pressure is on them. A win means that much to this school, this year.
It represents the chance to complete just the third undefeated season in program history (2010, 1938), the chance to play in the school’s first College Football Playoff, and possibly win its first undisputed National Championship.
TCU has developed a bit of an inferiority complex over the years, claiming the NCAA has denied the team a spot in the National Championship Game in several seasons in the Twenty-Teens because of a perceived bias against smaller private schools.
The issue has come to the fore again this season with TCU, at times, ranked below a one-loss Alabama team even though the Horned Frogs were undefeated. A win in the Big 12 Championship Game would ensure the College Football Playoff Selection Committee cannot deny them.
All that means there are big expectations in the Big 12 Championship Game for TCU. Expectations create pressure and pressure seems to have forced oddsmakers to make the Horned Frogs only slight favorites over Kansas State on Saturday.
