For the record I don't think Utah's offense is as good as Oklahoma's. Of course that doesnt mean they can't score 35 points on TCU.

Junkie's stats re turnovers are interesting. If BJ can not turn the ball over, the Utes may be in good shape. They are high scoring and generate 420 yards TO a game. But look at the AF game how turnovers kept AF in a game Utah should have won by 30 points.

I have TCU as the SLIGHT favorite in this game. My model, FWIW, is roughly 60% on games similar to this on the year (it's in the "pick'em" category. My model is close to 90% on picking the rest of the games).

If the weather tomorrow is anything like it is today (cold and snow) the game will really be low scoring and turnovers could be the biggest factor.
Because the Frogs are one of the best at takeaways, I'd give the nod to TCU in a game during which TOs are the key, but I'm guessing that inclement weather like today's would be tougher for TCU to deal with mentally. According to weather.com it's been warm in Ft. Worth the last few days. I don't know when TCU is scheduled to arrive in SLC, but leaving when the temp is in the 80s and arriving when there is snow and it's 32 degrees (as it is now) is tough to prepare for.
