The No. 17 Texas Tech Red Raiders will be traveling up to Salt Lake City to face off with the No. 16 Utah Utes at Rice-Eccles Stadium at 12 p.m. EST (broadcast on Fox).
Texas Tech comes into the game with the No. 2 offense in the country (total yards) with 602.7 yards of offense a game, with almost 400 of it coming via the pass (383.7) and another 219 on the ground (No. 26). As for scoring, they are the No. 1 team in the country with 58 points per game. Of course, the competition hasn’t been too tough (Arkansas Pine Bluff, Kent State, and Oregon State). Utah’s stats aren’t as big, but still rank the Utes among the best teams in the nation. On the offensive side of the ball, they average 517 yards per game (No. 15), 290 yards on the ground (No. 7), and 227 yards passing (No. 69) with 45.7 points per game (No. 14). Like Texas Tech, the competition has not been tough (UCLA, Cal Poly, and Wyoming).
Both came into the season expected to contend for the Big 12 title. Three weeks into the season, the Utes are the betting favorite to win the conference (+420) with the Red Raiders not far behind at +440.

Our Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Utah Utes Prediction
This game is a classic battle of strength against strength. Utah is known for having tough, hard-nosed defenses, and this year’s group certainly qualifies. Texas Tech has the No. 1 scoring offense in the country. But how much stock can you put in anything since the competition has been bad? The experts seem to be picking the winner to be victorious by 1-3 points, but they are split on which team will win. Texas Tech has a decent defense and Utah has a solid offense, so I’m going to say this one will be a back-and-forth battle with the winner scoring the go-ahead points in the final minutes of the game—and sending the final score OVER the TOTAL.
Our Texas Tech vs. Utah Pick: OVER 56.5
