Our Texas Tech Red Raiders vs BYU Cougars Prediction
BYU is a solid team that has gotten off to a strong start this season, but they also haven’t played a tough schedule. Texas Tech is a little more battle-tested, and I think that will be evident today when these two teams faceoff. It will be a good close game, but the Red Raiders will clamp down on the defensive end in the second half and slowly pull away, easily covering the spread.
