Kansas 76, Texas Tech 68

Despite Kansas being expected to cruise to a home win, taking the Jayhawks straight up at -475 isn’t worth the risk.

Texas Tech at Kansas odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday’s Texas Tech at Kansas odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 19 Texas Tech Red Raiders (15-4, 5-2 Big 12) and No. 7 Kansas Jayhawks (16-2, 5-1) tussle at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan., Monday at 9 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Texas Tech vs. Kansas odds and lines and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Texas Tech has held Iowa State and West Virginia to a combined 38.3% shooting mark over two wins since falling at Kansas State Jan. 15. The slow-down Red Raiders have held opponents to just 59.1 points per game (13th NCAA-I).

TTU is just 1-3 over its last four games away from Lubbock despite an upset win at then-No. 1 Baylor Jan. 13.

The Jayhawks lost to the Raiders 75-67 Jan. 8 in Lubbock. Kansas trailed over the final 25 minutes of that game but has gone 4-0 since while holding opponents to a 38.8% mark from the floor along the way.

Texas Tech at Kansas odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas 72, Texas Tech 68

Money line

These two have played similar recent conference schedules, so it’s somewhat instructive to compare results. The results favor the Jayhawks, and especially in a game at Allen Fieldhouse, but not to the degree suggested by these prices.

TTU’s 3-point defense and its ability to get to the line play into TEXAS TECH (+250) being on the edge of a decent value play. Consider a partial-unit play, and hold back some in reserve in case the return edges upward.

Against the spread

TTU is 7-1 ATS in its last eight games against winning teams while the Jayhawks are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall.

Recent ATS stumbles at home indicate Kansas can be had when the tag gets too steep. The slow-tempo style has given Kanas issues in multiple games this season, so peg this one as what should be a 4-point edge for the Jayhawks.

BACK TEXAS TECH +6.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Not enough reasoning to shade this one either way: PASS.
