COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE PICK: TCU is 2-7 ATS L9 as a DD fave and 0-6 ATS L6 vs. non-conf. teams. Kansas takes on #16 TCU, who is playing in their Big 12 debut. The Horned Frogs basically dominated the Mountain West but this will be a big step up. The Jayhawks beat South Dakota State 31-17 on Sept. 1 before falling to Rice, 25-24 at home. QB Casey Pachall and Trevone Bokin combined to complete all 17 of their passing attempts against Grambling State, 56-0, which was a remarkable feat. Kansas goes with former Notre Dame QB Dayne Crist, who has completed 33 of 64 passes for 313 yards with 2 TDs. He has the talent but has to become more consistent. TCU is the better team but won’t cover.
