Texas Tech Minus Two Starters
The Texas Tech Red Raiders will begin conference play on Saturday when they hit the road to Austin, Texas to play the Big 12 South rival Longhorns–they are big 18.5-point favorites.
Last year, Texas Tech ruined Texas’ dreams of a national title when it defeated the Longhorns 39-33 and covered at +3.5–Texas was undefeated at the time and ranked No. 1.
This year, the Red Raiders could be short-handed as starting DE Rajon Henley and SS Franklin Mitchem were not included on the team’s travel list.
Henley is suffering from a injury to his left ankle and Mitchem has in injury to his left arm–neither practiced this week.
The Total is set at 66.5, and in the Texas Tech’s last seven games when an underdog of more than 8-points, it has taken 6 Overs and 1 Under.
In the Red Raiders’ last eight games overall against Texas, the Over cashed in 7 times and the Under just 1 time.
Texas is listed at -150 to take the Big 12 while Texas Tech is listed at +2000.
