BYU at Texas Tech Preview & Picks

BYU are tipped to cover the spread in a losing effort at Texas Tech.

The Cougars are capable of putting a decent number of points on the Red Raiders, while a solid defense makes enough stops to ensure the hosts do not get out of sight.

  • BYU are 2-0-0 ATS as a betting underdog this season
  • BYU are 7-1-0 ATS in their 8 games as a betting underdog in the Big 12
  • The Over has cashed in 3 of BYU’s previous 4 games

Head To Head

  • The all-time series is tied at 1-1
  • BYU won 27-14 when the two teams last met in October 2023

BYU Form

BYU heads to Texas still boasting a 100% record, having now won all eight of their games this season.

The Cougars opened the campaign with three straight non-conference wins, beating Portland State 69-0, Stanford 27-3 and East Carolina 34-13.

They then kicked off their Big 12 schedule on the road and downed the Buffaloes on Colorado, 24-21.

BYU then returned home to beat West Virginia 38-24, and backed that up with a 33-27 success in Arizona and a 24-21 win at home to ranked Utah.

The Cougars then extended their win streak to eight games with a 41-27 win at Iowa State last time out.

Texas Tech Form

Texas Tech enter this matchup having rebounded from their only defeat of the season so far with back-to-back wins to reach 8-1.

The Red Raiders began the season with three consecutive wins over non-conference opposition, beating Arkansas Pine-Bluff 67-7, Kent State 62-14 and Oregon State 45-14.

They then kicked off their Big 12 schedule with back-to-back road games and took down Utah 34-10 and Houston 35-11.

Texas Tech blew out Kansas 42-17 in their first Big 12 game at home, but they failed to keep their perfect run going as they fell 26-22 at Arizona State a week later.

The Red Raiders rebounded quickly though, following up a 42-0 shutout of Oklahoma State with a 43-20 victory at Kansas State.

Verdict

Texas Tech’s offense has been red hot this season, but BYU’s unit has been no slouch.

The Cougars may not be able to beat the Red Raiders in a shootout, but they are capable of ensuring this does not turn into a one-sided beatdown.
