Texas Tech Red Raiders at Oklahoma State Cowboys Overview
Texas Tech Red Raiders
The Red Raiders come in a high-profile victory on Saturday when they defeated the Houston Cougars 63-49 in a shootout in Lubbock last Saturday. On the year, the Red Raiders have one defeat coming against the Mississippi Rebels at a neutral site clash to kick off the college football season. In the aforementioned fixture, Tech lost 47-27. Texas Tech leads the country in both total offense (621 yards per game) and 448.7 passing yards per game. While we are at it the Red Raiders “only” score 55.7 points per game (Third nationally).
Oklahoma State Cowboys
The Cowboys come in off one of the most impressive victories this season when they beat down a No. 17-ranked Boise State that came into Stillwater undefeated with a whole lot of hype as the premiere Group of Five teams. Given Boise State’s reputation for playing well against Power Five teams, we saw Oklahoma State close as a near-field goal home dog. However, the Pokes would smash the Smurfs by a score of 44-21.
Reasons To Back Texas Tech
Given the offensive nature of this contest, the academic move is to take the points. Generally, in a forecasted shootout, anything more than a touchdown is considered a value bet. The Red Raiders are getting nearly double that allotment.
Reasons To Avoid Oklahoma State
Oklahoma State’s win puts them in a scenario where they can be set-up for a let-down in their follow up. After all, Oklahoma State is once again back at home against a football team that they have kicked around a lot as of late. The question remains whether or not the Pokes will be hungover from the Boise State shakedown, making them a dubious play here with significant lumber to lay. It doesn’t help that Oklahoma State’s pass defense gives up 222 yards per game.
