Iowa State at Texas Tech picks and predictions
Prediction
Iowa State 69, Texas Tech 64
Moneyline
You can bet IOWA STATE (-110) if you don’t want to worry about the single point on the spread. Texas Tech has yet to win a conference game this season and I don’t envision the Red Raiders getting their 1st on Monday.

Against the spread
IOWA STATE -1.5 (+100) is the ideal way to bet the spread despite the Cyclones being the road team. There is slightly more value here than on the moneyline, but there is a chance that Iowa State wins and falls short of covering the spread.
The Cyclones are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS loss and the Red Raiders are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games.
Over/Under
LEAN OVER 129.5 (-110) in this Big 12 matchup.
Even though Iowa State allows only 60.5 points per game (12th in the nation), these 2 teams combine for 145.1 points per game.
Texas Tech has gone Over in 7 of its last 8 games following a win and 6 of its last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record (Iowa State is 2-4 in true road games).
