The Horned Frogs are led by Trevone Boykin, who has passed for more than 2,500 and 25 TDs so far this season. The Mountaineers will try to keep up on the scoreboard in this Big 12 showdown, but TCU will be too much to handle at home, pulling away for a big win.

Pick: TCU

Spread: TCU -14

Oklahoma vs. Kansas

Date: Saturday, October 31

Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. ET

Venue: Memorial Stadium

Oklahoma QB Baker Mayfield and RB Samaje Perine should have a field day against the hapless Jayhawks, who have yet to win a game so far this season. The only bright side for Kansas has been a good pass rush, that might be able to put pressure on Mayfield, if ever so slightly. Oklahoma rolls to an easy win.

Pick: Oklahoma

Spread: Oklahoma -39

Oklahoma State vs. Texas Tech

Date: Saturday, October 31

Kickoff: 3:30 p.m. ET

Lubbock on Halloween is a tough place to play, especially against the Red Raiders’ explosvie offense. Oklahoma’s defense will be the factor in this one, coming up with a couple of key stops in a high-scoring affair.

Pick: Oklahoma State

Spread: Oklahoma State -3

Texas vs. Iowa State

Date: Saturday, October 31

Kickoff: 7:00 p.m. ET

Pick: Texas

Spread: Texas -6.5
