Result: Win
Total: 90.00 | -103.00 Over
Result: Win
This is a Free #NCAAF play on TTU@OKST to go UNDER the total.
We all know that Texas Tech is often involved in high scoring games, but the total for this week's game at Oklahoma State is unbelievably high. To put it in perspective, the Cowboys have not come close to 90 points in any of their previous nine games this season. They have played several teams with high powered offenses, and still they held Pittsburgh, Texas and Baylor to under 40 points.
Red Raiders quarterback Patrick Mahomes leads the nation in passing, and he threw for a whopping 734 yards and five TDs in a 66-59 loss to Oklahoma just three weeks ago. He hasn't put up those kind of numbers against the better defenses in the BIG12 though, and five of the Red Raiders six games versus BIG12 teams have finished with far fewer than 90 total points.
These teams have gone over the total in four straight meetings since 2012, but the total for this week's game is more than 10 points higher than it was in any of the previous meetings. In fact they failed to score 90 points in three of those four games. It seems a little optimistic to think we'll see such a shootout. So many things have to go right for a game to turn into a barn burner, and it doesn't take much to derail a high flying offense. A few offensive penalties, an injury, or a few turnovers.. and all of a sudden 5-10 have come off the clock without any points being added.
Take UNDER.
