A new era begins at TCU. For the first time in 22 seasons, Gary Patterson will not be roaming the sidelines. Former Minnesota boss Jerry Kill takes over and will try to put a charge into a season that needs one. Unfortunately, his first game is against a Baylor team that has played very well on both sides of the ball so far this season. Take the Bears.

This matchup boils down to the coaches. Dave Aranda’s reputation is soaring as once-beaten Baylor contends for a league title. Gary Patterson is ... gone. The long-time coach and TCU parted ways on Sunday, and a matchup with the Bears is ill-timed. Since the opener, Baylor has failed to cover just once. TCU is not only 3-5 straight-up this year but 1-6-1 ATS. With the road squad covering the last five in the series, Baylor has contributed to the Frogs’ mystifying 11-28-1 ATS woes at home.
