You can find TCU regular season wins total betting odds for 2014 at Sportsbook.ag. It should be noted that a number of books were not offering this betting option for Texas Christian due to their 4-8 record last year.
Sportsbook.ag does have the Horned Frogs as a big favorite not to win 8 regular season games or more in 2014 but the real value is on the OVER 8 paying out $15 for every $10 bet.
Whether that’s likely to happen or not we shall see.
AthlonSports.com has offered up this final analysis of TCU’s chances in 2014:
It became clear to coach Gary Patterson during the Horned Frogs’ second year in the Big 12 that major changes were in order on the offensive side of the ball. His defense, long a program hallmark, was maintaining its success in the new league. But the Frogs missed the postseason for the first time since 2004 largely because the offense — which had moved the ball with ease in the Frogs’ final years in the Mountain West — failed to produce.
If the offense, under new leadership, can make modest gains, the Frogs could emerge as a surprise contender in the Big 12. TCU went 4–8 in 2013, but the Frogs lost four games by a combined 11 points, including one in overtime. In two other 10-point losses, TCU had a chance to win late in the game.
With better play at quarterback and along the offensive line — two areas that underperformed in 2013 — TCU will be in position to win a few more of those close games and put itself back into postseason play.
