Arizona State at Texas Tech picks and predictions
Prediction
Texas Tech 38, Arizona State 20
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on the Red Raiders (-650) to stay undefeated Saturday at home.
Against the spread
BET TEXAS TECH -15 (-110).
The Red Raiders have been on a tear over their last 2 games, covering both while outscoring their opponents 78-21. They are coming off a bye week and playing in front of their home crowd, looking to make a statement as they work toward the Top 5.
The Sun Devils have failed to cover in back-to-back games, as well as in their only game this season in which they entered as underdogs.
Over/Under
BET OVER 48.5 (-112).
The Sun Devils have scored at least 20 points in 4 of their 5 games, while allowing at least 48 in 2 of their last 4. They have a 3-2 Over record.
The Red Raiders will do a majority of the lifting in this matchup. They have scored at least 28 points in each game this season, including 33 or more 3 times. They have allowed 24 or more points in 2 of their last 4 and have hit the Over in 3 of their last 4.
Best prop bet
BET 1ST QUARTER SPREAD: TEXAS TECH -3.5 (-118).
The Red Raiders should have no issues against the Sun Devils in front of their home crowd, and a big part of that is getting going early. Look for explosive plays and the home team to set the pace of the game. Finding the end zone early and getting a defensive stop will put this bet well on its way, but if you are not as confident in a hot first-quarter start, the halftime spread is just 7.5 points (-110).
