The matchup
TCU's last five results read win, loss, win, loss, loss. The Horned Frogs beat the Kansas Jayhawks 22-16 at home most recently, before that dropping a 20-24 decision to the West Virginia Mountaineers, beating the Baylor Bears 17-6 on the road, falling 10-17 to the BYU Cougars, and losing 13-21 to the UCF Knights.
Arizona's most recent five games go loss, win, win, win, win. The Wildcats fell 26-34 to the Texas Tech Red Raiders on the road in their last outing, but before that strung together wins over the Iowa State Cyclones (39-3), the West Virginia Mountaineers (52-31), the Cincinnati Bearcats (34-7), and the Washington State Cougars (34-24).
Key matchups
Arizona's offense has been the story of its season, piling up 279 points against 151 allowed. That kind of scoring pace puts real pressure on a TCU defense that has held opponents to just 113 points on the year.
TCU's own offense has managed 186 points this season, a number that will need to hold up against an Arizona defense that has given up 151 points across eight games. Whichever side wins the battle of points for versus points against likely controls Friday night.
The pick
The market has Arizona favored by 7.5 points with a total of 45.5, and the market score sits at Arizona Wildcats 27, TCU Horned Frogs 19. Arizona's scoring margin this season backs that line, but a one-game losing streak and a road opponent coming off a win make this one worth watching before it's handed to the home side outright.
