Sportbetting has seen TCU be one of the best college football teams in the country the past few seasons and the university has rewarded head coach Gary Patterson with a contract extension. Sports betting online had TCU going to a BCS bowl game after completing the regular season unbeaten.
Sportbetting on TCU has been popular since Patterson has been on the job. This will be his 12th season at TCU and ninth as head coach. He has an 85-27 record during that time. This is TCU’s first undefeated season since 1938. TCU is #4 in the BCS standings and considered a team that could challenge Florida, Alabama or Texas if given the chance. Unless Texas loses to Nebraska in the Big 12 title game, that won’t happen. Texas will play in the national title game against either Florida or Alabama if they defeat Nebraska on Saturday.
Patterson has been mentioned in sportbetting news as a possible replacement for Charlie Weis at Notre Dame but with this extension, the Irish will have to look elsewhere. Patterson has won at least 10 games in six of his nine years. He has had five sports betting online seasons of at least 11 wins. He has won three conference championships and TCU has gone to eight bowl games. Last year the Horned Frogs upset unbeaten Boise State in sportbetting in the Poinsettia Bowl. This season TCU has been an excellent sportbetting wager. They are 12-0 straight up and 8-4 against the sports betting online odds.
This is not the first season that TCU has been a good sportbetting team. TCU has handled the big boys in the past too. They beat #5 Oklahoma on the road four years ago and they beat a talented Texas Tech team three years ago. Defense has been the staple at TCU under Patterson. They had the top ranked defense in the country in 2000. They did it again in 2002 and in 2008. This sports betting online season they are #2 in total defense and not that far behind top-ranked Florida. TCU is No. 3 in rush defense and No. 4 in passing defense. Four times this season an opponent had their worst scoring output of the season.
This season TCU has an offense to go along with their defense. They are 4th in the country in points scored and that has made them a very good team to take in sportbetting.
