Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State Prediction
The current betting odds have Texas Tech listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas Tech has looked great in their games this season with their 8-1 record overall and their 5-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the Big 12. They have been a good road team too with their 2-1 road record this year. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State has looked good in their games this season with their 6-3 record overall and their 4-2 conference record which has them in the top half of the Big 12. They have looked great on their home field too with their 4-0 home record this season. Oklahoma State is coming off a 66-28 win over Kansas State and they have looked like one of the best teams in the Big 12 at times, but they also have some head scratching losses as they have been really up and down all year. They have one of the best offenses in the nation and they have been putting up a ton of points all year, but they also have one of the worst defenses in the Big 12, giving up a ton of points in every game. Texas Tech took a bad road loss to Cincinnati, but that has been their only real slip up all year. They are still the defending champions of the Big 12 and they have looked like one of the best teams in the conference all year. They are coming off a 53-48 win over West Virginia in their last one and their offense has looked a lot better lately since making the switch at QB to Castellanos. Their defense hasn't looked great this season either, but that West Virginia game is also more of an anomaly since their defense hasn't looked that bad all season. Oklahoma State is very good, but that defense is going to be a big issue since Texas Tech has the talent on offense to keep up in this game and they also have the slightly better defense to lean on too. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas Tech to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“A good old-fashioned throwback Big 12 game broke out. I haven't been a part of that in a long time. I probably haven't seen anything like that, definitely since I've been here.” - Joey McGuire after his team’s win against WVU in their last game.
“He had a really big day rushing the football, especially the first half. I thought that second drive of the third quarter, we were able to get it in his hands in the passing game a little bit and get him out in the open.” - Eric Morris on Caleb Hawkins after his team’s win against KSU in their last game.
