TCU football has won eight regular-season games each of the past two seasons, but one prominent sportsbook expects the Horned Frogs to take a step back in 2026.
TCU’s win total has been posted at 6.5 at Caesars Sportsbook. The over on the total is heavily favored at -170, meaning a bettor would have to wager $170 to profit $100 on the Horned Frogs winning more than 6.5 games. The under is +135, meaning a bettor can wager $100 to profit $135 on the Horned Frogs winning fewer than 6.5 games.
College football season win totals have not been posted at DraftKings or FanDuel.
TCU went 9-4 the past two seasons including bowl victories, but the season win total wager is only for regular-season games.
The Horned Frogs lost quarterback Josh Hoover to the transfer portal and key seniors — including wide receiver Eric McAlister, safety Bud Clark and linebackers Kaleb Elarms-Orr and Namdi Obiazor — who are out of eligibility and poised to be selected in the NFL draft.
TCU also appears to face a more difficult schedule this season with games against the top three finishers in the Big 12 — champion Texas Tech, BYU and Utah — after facing only BYU of that group last season.
Here are all the win totals for Big 12 teams for 2026:
