The Texas Tech Red Raiders have a direct path to the Big 12 title game and thus the College Football Playoff.
Beating the unbeaten BYU Cougars this weekend would all but assure the Red Raiders a chance at everything they talked about this offseason amid headlines about their massive roster investments.
My BYU vs. Texas Tech predictions expect the home favorite to hand the Cougars their first loss this season, even if this double-digit spread has gotten a bit too out of hand for comfort.
Kickoff comes at 12:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, November 8.
Our best BYU vs Texas Tech SGP for Week 11
Do not be fooled by this spread ballooning to favor Texas Tech by 10.5 points.
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.
Expect BYU to try to slow this game down enough that the Under has life despite Texas Tech’s superior offense. That will be the Cougars’ best path toward an upset.
