Expert Picks and Predictions for TCU vs. Texas Tech
Our Prediction
Texas Tech 79, TCU 66
Moneyline: AVOID.
There’s simply no betting value on the Red Raiders at -500, especially given their impressive 14-1 home record this season.
Against the Spread: CONSIDER TEXAS TECH -9.5 (-110).
Even with the Horned Frogs’ recent strong play, the Red Raiders have been incredibly formidable lately, making them tough to bet against. This is particularly true after their dominant victory over No. 4 Iowa State and their ascension into the top 10 rankings. Texas Tech has covered the spread in 6 of their last 7 games, including twice as double-digit favorites during that stretch, and in each of their last 3 home games.
Over/Under: WAGER ON UNDER 148.5 (-115).
The Horned Frogs have registered 71 points or fewer in 3 of their last 4 games and 6 of their past 9, leading to the Under hitting in 3 of their last 4 overall and in consecutive road contests.
The Red Raiders have seen the Under connect in 5 of their last 8 games. They’ve scored 78 points or less in 5 of their past 8 outings, while holding opponents to 73 points or fewer in 7 of their last 8 overall.
