Kansas State at Texas Tech odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
Texas Tech 76, Kansas State 62
Money line
Look for the Raiders to be dialed in at home, in a revenge spot and coming off a disappointing loss. The tag here is fair but without a value cushion: PASS.
Against the spread
The Red Raiders are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games after a straight-up loss, 10-1 ATS in their last 11 home games against teams with a losing road record, 18-4 ATS in their last 22 home games and 17-4 ATS in their last 21 games as a home favorite.
Saturday’s game was a clunker for a Texas Tech squad that had been playing at a high level of late. TTU held foes to a 37.8% mark from the field in its 18 previous games before allowing a 50.0% mark Saturday.
TAKE THE RED RAIDERS -12.5 (-105).
Over/Under
Figure on Kansas State getting some easy turnover/transition baskets, and peg the home five piling up a decent advantage in second-chance and free-throw points.
Look for TTU to aggressively play this game to as big of a lead as it can muster by the 5-minute mark.
BACK THE OVER 133.5 (-108).
