College football Week 8 picks, predictions, odds:

Heartland College Sports: TCU 34, Kansas State 27

Bryan Clinton writes: "The difference in this game for me is TCU’s offense. Max Duggan, Quentin Johnston, and Kendre Miller make up one of the most underrated skill trios in America and the best that Kansas State has seen to this point in the year."

Odds Checker: Take TCU to cover against Kansas State

Jason Radowitz writes: "Last week we saw TCU struggle offensively throughout the entire first half against Oklahoma State. Eventually, the Horned Frogs tied up the game and sent it to overtime, scoring 14 points in the game's final quarter. The TCU offense always finds a way. I'll back the Horned Frogs to keep the undefeated season alive against the spread."

Sports Chat Place: TCU will cover vs. Kansas State

Randy Chambers writes: "The Kansas State Wildcats have proven they can play with the big boys, but they do have offensive limitations with no passing game to speak of, and it prevents the offense from really putting games away. The TCU Horned Frogs make a case as the best offensive team in the country, and they’ve had a field day 3 straight weeks against quality teams. I’m not sure why one would be eager to step in front of TCU at the moment. Kansas State doesn’t have the offensive horses to hang for 60 minutes. I’ll lay the more than reasonable chalk."
