The Texas Tech Red Raiders are clearly the better team here and should be big favorites, but they’ve also been out of action for a week and have Iowa State on deck. Possible rust or a look ahead spot for the Red Raiders. Also, the Alabama State Hornets aren’t exactly pushovers, as they went toe to toe with Iowa State and have been on the road all year. This is a lot of points for an early start. I’ll take them.
