Georgetown at Texas Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas Tech 75, Georgetown 60

Moneyline

Texas Tech (-1800) is the right side here, but there’s no value in betting 18 times your potential return on the moneyline. PASS.

Against the spread

GEORGETOWN +17.5 (-115) is the lean here, as Texas Tech just hasn’t flexed its muscle on offense this season.

The Red Raiders have a lockdown defense, yielding just 58.7 PPG, but this team is also 228th in the nation on offense, going for just 70.5 PPG. It is especially poor from behind the 3-point line, hitting at just 33.0% to rank 219th overall.

Texas Tech has scored 73 or fewer points in 5 of its 6 games overall, including 2 of 3 at home. That will hold it back from covering a big number against Georgetown.

Over/Under

UNDER 137.5 (-110) is the lean, based mostly on the struggling offense of Georgetown, and the suffocating defense of Texas Tech.

The Under has cashed in all 3 home games for the Red Raiders this season, as they have allowed 55 or fewer points in each outing.

The Under has cashed in 4 straight games overall for the Hoyas, and it has scored 70 or fewer points in 4 of its past 5 games overall.
