TCU (7-5) vs. Houston (8-4)
December 28, 8 p.m. (NFL Network)
One of the country's top offenses against one of the country's top defenses. We see it all the time.
Houston runs an awesome offense featuring Anthony Alridge and his 130 yards per game at tailback and Case Keenum at quarterback. The freshman completed 70 percent of his passes, but his interceptions were a little high. The Cougars are absolutely relentless on offense and rank No. 7 in time of possession. They need to keep Texas Christian's stellar defense on the field and wear it down.
Houston's defense is middle of the road and should have no problem stopping a Horned Frogs' offense that lacks playmakers.
I know Kevin Sumlin took over the job no more than a week ago, but when you're offense is that good, you can run it in your sleep.
The line: Texas Christian -4
The pick: Houston
