Texas Tech vs BYU Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup ranked inside the top 10 and they are towards the top of the Big 12 standings, so this is a huge game for each side. BYU is undefeated on the season and they have scored at least 33 points in three of their last four games. Texas Tech has scored at least 42 points in three of their last four and their defense has been very good this year, allowing 20 points or fewer in four of their last five. This should be a great game to watch, but I have to take the points with BYU, as I think Bachmeier will keep it close.
