TOP PICK
Who will win Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State today: Oklahoma State -3.5
I'll take the Oklahoma State Cowboys -3.5, up to -4.5, as I expect the public to gravitate toward the higher-ranked, reigning Big 12 champion catching 3-and-the-hook.
However, the underlying numbers favor Oklahoma State.
The Cowboys rank 16th nationally in schedule-adjusted net EPA per play, compared with 32nd for the Texas Tech Red Raiders, per GameOnPaper.com. And while laying -3.5 is never comfortable, it's less intimidating in a game with a 70-plus-point total, where one score represents a smaller share of the expected scoring.
Oklahoma State also owns the best win on either resume, upsetting a healthy Oregon team in Week 2 when the Ducks were 24-point favorites.

COVERS INTEL: According to CollegeFootballData.com, Oklahoma State has a better early-down success rate differential (+9.1% vs. +8.5%) despite playing a tougher schedule.
Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State Over/Under pick today: Over 72.5
Give me the Over 72.5, up to 74.5, because the market is practically begging you to take the Under on one of Week 11's highest totals.
I'm not falling for it. Texas Tech and Oklahoma State are a combined 11-1 to the Over in conference play, and neither offense wastes time. The Red Raiders rank ninth nationally in seconds per play, while the Cowboys are 16th.
That pace means more possessions and more opportunities to score, which matters when both teams have repeatedly cleared their totals in conference play. This has track meet written all over it, and I don't think the market can hang a number high enough.

Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State prop: Oklahoma State -2.5 1H
I'm taking Oklahoma State -2.5 in the first half, up to -3. The Cowboys' explosive passing attack will put the Red Raiders on their heels early at Boone Pickens Stadium.
Per GameOnPaper, Oklahoma State's offensive explosive play rate sits in the 81st percentile nationally, while Texas Tech's defense is in the 38th percentile. Mestemaker leads the Big 12 in passer efficiency rating, and the Red Raiders rank 13th in opponent completion percentage and 15th in passing yards allowed per game.
Better yet, Texas Tech is 2-7 against the spread in first halves this season, including 0-3 ATS on the road.
Texas Tech vs Oklahoma State combo
Good luck keeping this game under control once the Cowboys start hitting explosive plays. Texas Tech has the offense to trade punches, but its defense is a liability against Drew Mestemaker and Oklahoma State's passing attack.
That should put the Red Raiders in catch-up mode early, which only adds fuel to a potential shootout. Ultimately, Texas Tech can do its part offensively without ruining Oklahoma State's chances of covering.
Give me a fast start and four quarters of fireworks.
