Oklahoma State vs. Texas Tech Prediction
I’m on Texas Tech here. The Red Raiders haven’t been particularly tested at home as of yet, but this is still a really good Red Raider team and I’m not sure Oklahoma State can keep up the intensity going on the road into a tough environment in Lubbock after a soul-crushing defeat against Baylor, a game that Oklahoma State really thought they had. I think the Red Raiders find a way to get it done so give me Texas Tech for the win and cover here.
