Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Baylor Bears prediction
The Texas Tech Red Raiders are coming off back to back losses where they couldn’t finish games, and Pop Isaacs is coming off a poor game where he struggled from the field and turned the ball over a lot. The Baylor Bears are a nightmare at home where they’re 11-1 SU and that offense is sure to give Texas Tech fits. I’m just not getting the warm and fuzzy feeling from the Red Raiders right now, and this isn’t an ideal spot where things turn around. Give me Baylor and the chalk.
