Bet Oklahoma State vs. Texas Tech Odds
Before we get to our pick, let’s take a look at the current point spread for this game.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made Oklahoma State a 3-point underdog against Texas Tech in Week 7. The over/under total for this game is currently 69 points.
The Red Raiders beat Baylor 45-38 last week, but are losers of two of their last three games, which includes defeats against Texas (24-14) and at Iowa State (52-38). They’re now 3-2 on the season overall and 2-3 against the spread, which includes a 0-2 mark at home.
The Cowboys, on the other hand, are a perfect 5-0 overall, a solid 4-1 against the spread and are also 1-0 in their only road game of the year as they covered as 24-point favorites last week against LA-Lafayette.
The Pick:
Usually when a point spread is too good to be true, it usually is. Oklahoma State arguably has the better team and they obviously have the better record, but the ‘Boys are just 1-6 against the spread in their last seven meetings in Lubbock. The home team in this series is also 5-1 in the last six meetings, while Texas Tech is 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a home favorite of 3.5-10 points. We’re looking to avoid the trap here and take Texas Tech; our pick is the Red Raiders –3.
