The Texas Tech Red Raiders are intriguing in the underdog role this season, but they’ve been on the losing side in most of their big games this season and they haven’t played in nine days. The West Virginia Mountaineers are coming off a blowout win over Kansas State and are usually a tough team to beat at home, with fans or not. Texas Tech is also one of the worst covering ranked teams in the country. I’ll lay the bucket with West Virginia.
