Big 12 football Week 8 predictions
Texas Tech at Cincinnati, 9 a.m., FS1 (stream with FUBO)
The Red Raiders are starting to put everything together on offense and defense. That's bad news for the Bearcats. Will Hammond and the Red Raiders will hand Cincinnati its first loss at home
this season.
Prediction: Texas Tech 31, Cincinnati 20
West Virginia at TCU, 9 a.m., ESPN2 (stream with FUBO)
Both of these teams picked up much-needed conference wins last week, but we have a lot more confidence in TCU's defense. The Mountaineers can't stop anyone.
Prediction: TCU 30, West Virginia 27
Baylor at Kansas, 10 a.m., TNT (stream with Sling)
Kansas is 0-3 in the Big 12. The Jayhawks will fall to 0-4 against an angry DJ Lagway and Baylor Bears squad.
Prediction: Baylor 33, Kansas 21
BYU at UCF, 12:30 p.m., FOX (stream with FUBO)
Don't sleep on the Knights. They are 3-0 at home this season. But they haven't faced a team like BYU. Bear Bachmeier and the Cougars will move to 7-0 overall with a hard-fought win.
Prediction: BYU 24, UCF 17
Kansas State at Arizona State, 12:45 p.m., ESPN2 (stream with FUBO)
Both of these teams are 1-2 in the Big 12 and in desperate need of a conference win. He's not perfect, but Avery Johnson gives the Wildcats an advantage at QB. Kansas State will hand Arizona State another conference loss.
Prediction: Kansas State 27, Arizona State 24
Colorado at Oklahoma State, 4 p.m., FS1 (stream with FUBO)
The Cowboys are a massive 13-point favorite over the Buffaloes for a reason. Drew Mestemaker and Oklahoma State will put up a lot of points on Colorado.
Prediction: Oklahoma State 38, Colorado 20
Iowa State at Arizona, 4:30 p.m., ESPN2 (stream with FUBO)
Arizona has quietly gone 5-1 overall and 2-1 in Big 12 play, with the Wildcats becoming a factor in the Big 12 race. Noah Fifita will help them stay in contention with a win over the Cyclones.
Prediction: Arizona 30, Iowa State 20
Houston at Utah, 7:15 p.m., ESPN (stream with FUBO)
ESPN College GameDay stayed in Utah for this game between the Cougars and Utes. A Houston win would put it in the thick of the Big 12 title race, but it's hard to beat Devon Dampier and Utah in Salt Lake City.
Prediction: Utah 31, Houston 24
