Arizona Wildcats Face TCU Horned Frogs in Crucial Week 13 Matchup

The Arizona Wildcats are set to face the TCU Horned Frogs in a pivotal Week 13 college football matchup on Saturday, November 23. After ending a five-game losing streak with a 27-3 win over Houston last week, Arizona travels to Fort Worth to take on TCU at Amon G. Carter Stadium.

TCU, currently 6-4 overall and 4-3 in the conference, enters the game as 10.5-point favorites, according to FanDuel. This line has shifted from an initial 12.5 points earlier in the week. The money line has also seen adjustments, with Arizona now at +300 and TCU at -385, compared to earlier figures of +320 for Arizona and -420 for TCU.

The Horned Frogs are coming off a bye week and are looking to capitalize on their recent form, having covered the spread in their last game against Oklahoma State with a 38-13 victory. TCU’s offense has been strong in the second half of the season, scoring over 30 points in each of their last three games. Key players returning for TCU include Markis Deal and Cooper McDonald, which is expected to bolster their defense.

Arizona, with a 4-6 overall record and 2-5 in the conference, needs to win their last two games to achieve bowl eligibility. The Wildcats have struggled on offense despite having talented players like Noah Fifita and Tetairoa McMillan. Their defense has been vulnerable, particularly against the run, with four opponents running for over 200 yards this season.

The over/under for the game is set at 59.5 points, with the over at minus 112 and the under at minus 108. Given TCU’s recent scoring form and the potential for a high-scoring game, there is a strong case for the over.

The matchup will be broadcast on ESPN+, with kickoff scheduled for 3:00 PM at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas.
