Stephen F. Austin is 3-14 ATS in their last 17 games overall and 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games played in September. The under is 4-1 in Texas Tech’s last 5 games overall.
The good news for SFA is that they’ve had some extra time to prep and rest up for this game, but the bad news is that they’re walking into a Texas Tech team that’s full of confidence behind their new stud QB in Shough and the rest of that offense going and that’s just something that Stephen F. Austin can’t compete with. It’s a thick line, but I keep seeing 38-6 when I look at this game, so give me Texas Tech here.
