Randy’s Pick
The Texas Longhorns are the better team and should be favored as they fight to stay in the playoff race. However, this line isn’t showing much love to a competitive Texas Tech side. The Texas Tech Red Raiders have a bend but don’t break defense, and their offense does just enough. Three of Texas Tech’s five losses have been decided by single digits. Also, two of the last three games between the Red Raiders and Longhorns went to overtime. Give me the points.
