TCU vs. Kansas picks: Predictions, odds, injury report for Week 6 Big 12 college football matchup

A newly-ranked Kansas Jayhawks team will host the TCU Horned Frogs, who are fresh off beating Oklahoma into the ground in Week 5. Kansas eked one out over Iowa State last week.

The Pick

TCU's offense is good – really good. We learned that against Oklahoma last week as Max Duggan ran all over the Sooners. But Kansas has also been putting up points every week – last week excluded, they're averaging 48.5 points per game. (The over would also be a good bet to make this week). Even if the Jayhawks aren't able to stay undefeated, I think they're going to be able to produce enough yardage and score enough to keep it tight at home. Will a 50-yard field goal win it all? Maybe. This should be a Big 12 instant classic.
