Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State Prediction
The current betting odds have Texas Tech listed as a 6 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas Tech has been terrible this season as they are struggling to stay above .500 with their 12-11 record overall and they are the worst team in the Big 12 right now with their 1-9 conference record. They have also been terrible in their road games with a 1-5 road record while Oklahoma State has a 10-2 home record this year. Oklahoma State is 14-9 overall but they have also been struggling in the conference with just a 5-5 conference record. They have some momentum coming into this one with 3 wins in a row now and they have been a really good home team all year, but even in their home wins against Big 12 opponents they have been in a lot of close games. Texas Tech has been terrible but they have been fighting in every game and they are going to fight for a win here doing whatever it takes to keep this game close. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas Tech to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“They’re just outstanding. This team, Baylor’s squad is one of the best offensive teams in the country and they’re so explosive. We were trying to keep them in check, and ... (had) somewhat the first half and then the dam broke.” - Mark Adams after his team’s loss against Baylor in their last game.
“A hell of a Big 12 game. It was a battle like we anticipated against a team who I think is certainly one of the top 20, if not higher, teams in the country, even without the preseason conference player of the year. They’re deep. They’re fast. They’re athletic. But our guys met the challenge today.” - Mike Boynton after his team’s win against TCU in their last game.
