Texas Longhorns vs Texas Tech Red Raiders prediction
The Texas Tech Red Raiders beat Texas on the road last week, and they’re now at home here, where they’re 14-1 SU on the season. Texas Tech should be favored, especially with Texas falling apart a bit over the last month. With all that said, Texas Tech has been hit or miss as of late and the offense can go cold for stretches. Despite the disappointing results overall, Texas is still a respectable team with one of the better offenses in the country and a team that can defend a bit as well. Rivalry game as well. I want the points with the Longhorns if forced to pick.
