Sam Ehlinger and the No. 15 Texas Longhorns look to stay in the thick of the Big 12 Conference race when they take on the host TCU Horned Frogs in a college football matchup at Fort Worth, Texas, on Saturday. The Longhorns (5-2), who finished second in the conference standings a year ago at 7-2 and 10-4 overall, are 22-12 under third-year coach Tom Herman, while the Horned Frogs (3-3), who finished tied for fifth with Baylor at 4-5 and 7-6 overall in 2018, are 170-66 under 20-year coach Gary Patterson. The game from Amon Carter Stadium is slated to start at 3:30 p.m. ET. Texas Christian has won its last two home games against Texas. The latest Texas vs. TCU odds list this game as a pick'em, while the over-under for total points scored is 57. You'll want to see the college football predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model before laying any Texas vs. TCU picks down.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times, and those who have followed it have seen huge returns. Over the past four-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of over $4,200 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. 

The model enters Week 9 of the 2019 season on a strong run, going 92-59 on its top-rated college football picks. It also called Illinois (+30.5) easily staying within the spread against No. 6 Wisconsin last week in one of the largest upsets of the entire season. Anybody who has been following it is way up. 

Now, the model has dialed in on Texas vs. TCU. We can tell you it's leaning under, and it also says one side cashes in over 50 percent of simulations. That one is only available at SportsLine. 

The model knows that Texas has historically been one of the best programs in college football, compiling a 913-372-33 (.705) all-time record, winning four national championships (1963, 1969, 1970 and 2005), 32 conference titles and qualifying for 55 bowl games, going 29-24-2 in those games, including a 28-21 win over No. 5 Georgia in last year's Sugar Bowl. The 913 wins is third-most in the nation, while the .705 winning percentage is seventh-best.

The Longhorns have had two straight winning seasons and have finished above .500 in 17 out of the past 21. One of the reasons for this year's success is senior wide receiver Devin Duvernay, who was added to the Biletnikoff Award watch list during Texas' first bye week. He has 61 receptions for 627 yards (10.3 average) and six touchdowns this season. He had eight catches for 110 yards and two touchdowns in last week's victory over Kansas.

But just because the Longhorns have seen plenty of success does not guarantee they will win or cover the Texas vs. TCU spread on Saturday.

TCU has also won five of the past seven games against Texas, including the last two home games against the Longhorns. Senior running back Darius Anderson has been a major part of the Horned Frogs' offense, rushing 83 times for 588 yards and six touchdowns. He has had a pair of huge games against the Longhorns in his career, rushing 18 times for 99 yards and a score in 2017 and carrying three times for 103 yards, including a 70-yard touchdown in 2016.
