June Jones is a very dangerous home underdog. He's continuing that trend here at SMU, now 4-2 ATS(against the spread) in that role. But, Jones is facing a very special team in TCU, and I just don't believe they are ready for what the Horned Frogs will bring tonight.
TCU has all facets of their offense working in sync, and, I just don't see SMU stopping them.
On offense, I don't believe SMU will have any success whatsoever running the ball, and when you are playing TCU, you better at least offer that possibility. SMU will have success passing the ball, this is a June Jones offense, after all. But, not enough to pose a real threat to a team I believe is on a mission this year.
I'll respect the home-underdog on a Friday night ESPN game(though it did not come through last night with Pitt's Panthers), and recommend TCU in a 1* play.
TCU will be relentless on offense throughout this season, so I expect at least 35 points from the Horned Frogs. I'm just not as confident SMU will contribute a lot to the scoring total, so, even though I lean to the over in this game, I will make no recommendation on the totals.
Tune in later tonight for my early afternoon, Saturday plays.
I leave you with this thought: I will always be excited by Temple matchups against Penn St., but, I have no delusions about how competitive they'd be in normal years. BUT, this game against PSU scheduled for 3:30p.m. tomorrow, may be the best chance Temple will ever have to defeat the Nittany Lions. Go Owls!
