Our BYU Cougars vs Texas Tech Red Raiders Prediction
Texas Tech is once again a big favorite, but still looks to be the best betting option. The Red Raiders have already played the Cougars this season, a 29-7 win just a few weeks ago. Texas Tech not only scores nearly 40 points per game against Big 12 opponents, but their defense also allows just 11.1 points per game against the conference.
BYU, on the other hand, has also had success offensively against Big 12 opponents, averaging just over 30 points per game. That being said, their defense has not nearly been as consistent.
Beating a team twice in the same season is also a difficult task; however, because the Red Raiders have won their conference games by an average margin of 31.0 points per game, our BYU Cougars vs Texas Tech Red Raiders prediction is: Texas Tech Red Raiders -9.5 Alternate Spread.Claim $200 for your BYU Cougars vs Texas Tech Red Raiders wager!
