College football Week 11 predictions:

Sporting News: TCU 38, Texas 33

Bill Bender writes: "This line has moved down a half-point, and it should. The disrespect card continues to be played against the Horned Frogs, who have been the most-consistent team in the Big 12 all season. Texas is 1-2 S/U when favored seven points or less this season, and TCU is 6-2 in this series in the CFP era."

Sports Illustrated: TCU will beat Texas by seven points

James Parks writes: "It's not just the College Football Playoff that's being cautious about the Frogs; so are the bookmakers. Those slow first-half starts are something to take into consideration, but Max Duggan leads a cadre of playmakers that can recover in a hurry."

Sports Chat Place: Take TCU with the points vs. Texas

Randy Chambers writes: "This line makes absolutely no sense to me. The Texas Longhorns are playing some of their best ball right now, and being at home helps in an in-state matchup. I get it. But we’re getting a free touchdown with an undefeated TCU team that’s in the thick of the playoff race."

Heartland College Sports: Texas 33, TCU 30

Bryan Clinton writes: "As crazy as it sounds, give me the Texas Longhorns to win this game outright. Ankle injuries can be finicky and if Johnston isn’t able to go or isn’t 100%, the Texas defense will cause the TCU running game some issues. On the flip side, Bijan Robinson is one of the top three ball carriers in the country and is a legitimate NFL-caliber three-down back."

Odds Checker: Go with TCU on the moneyline vs. Texas

Matt MacKay writes: "TCU has a winning formula with their increasingly potent ground game and they also have the better quarterback, who will be asked to make some big throws against Texas' vulnerable secondary. Let's hit a great payout and take the Horned Frogs' moneyline at +240 to continue their perfect season on the road against Texas on Saturday night."
