With BYU still perfect but priced as the underdog, the Cougars should be intent on challenging the growing support for Texas Tech.

We highlight the top betting angles for this matchup as we provide all of the best bets in our BYU vs. Texas Tech predictions before kickoff comes on Saturday, November 8.

BYU vs Texas Tech Week 11 predictions

BYU vs Texas Tech best bets

BYU BYU +10.5 (-110 at FanDuel)

At -10.5, this spread is just a touch beyond trusting. For two teams that fare well against the spread, it is that much more difficult to see one as overvalued.

Texas Tech is 7-2 against the spread this season, while BYU is 6-2.

BYU/Texas Tech Under 52.5 (-110 at FanDuel)

Modest faith in the Under stems from BYU’s need to keep this game tight and rely on a mistake more than it stems from anything else.

The Cougars regularly win on the margins, a possibility here only if they shorten the game as a whole.

BYU vs Texas Tech TD pick

Texas Tech Cameron Dickey anytime touchdown (-210 at FanDuel)

Although the Red Raiders lost to Arizona State a few weeks ago, BYU is not in the same tier as Texas Tech.

That was without starting quarterback Behren Morton, a choice made by Texas Tech in part because it knew it could suffer a loss and still control its own path to the College Football Playoff, thanks to having both Cincinnati and BYU on the schedule.

The Red Raiders should jump out to an early lead behind quarterback Behren Morton and running back Cameron Dickey, who has found the end zone in eight of nine games this season.

BYU vs Texas Tech prop pick

BYU Chase Roberts Over 59.5 receiving yards (-114 at FanDuel)

If BYU isn’t going to find it easygoing on the ground, that will force the offense to take to the air. That’s the game script that the bookmakers envision — BYU is currently a 10.5-point underdog at FanDuel Sportsbook, so the Cougars will likely be playing from behind.

The passing attack has funneled targets mainly to two wideouts, Chase Roberts and Parker Kingston. The latter has been on a heater lately, but it’s the former who has a longer track record of success.

Roberts racked up 840 receiving yards a year ago on 2.63 yards per route run. He’s back to his usual exploits in 2025, posting 591 receiving yards and 2.74 yards per route run.

The veteran sees a steady dose of volume with at least six targets in six of his last seven games, so both efficiency and volume should be in hand.
