Our Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Houston Cougars Prediction
Despite being undefeated, Houston looks to be overmatched in this game against Texas Tech. The Red Raiders have one of the country's best scoring offenses, averaging 55 points per game, while the Cougars average 31.3 points per game.
The near loss to Oregon State is also a concern for Houston, as the Beavers are one of the few winless teams in the country.
The good news for Texas Tech is that starting quarterback Behren Morton is expected to return in this game after leaving in the win against Utah two weeks ago. The Red Raiders also have Will Hammond as their backup, who performed well against Utah, so there is also the chance that both quarterbacks could see the field.
Overall, the Red Raiders’ explosive offense looks to be too much for the Cougars to handle; therefore, our Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Houston Cougars prediction is: Texas Tech Red Raiders -9.5 Alternate Spread.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
