Tag: Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Kansas State Wildcats odds predictions pick betting line spread

The Texas Tech Red Raiders (3-1, 1-0 Big 12) and the Kansas State Wildcats (3-1, 1-0) meet Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kan. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET (Big 12 Network | ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Texas Tech vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Red Raiders scored a solid 37-34 overtime victory at home over Texas last week as 7-point underdogs as the Over cashed. It was a nice rebound game after losing at NC State in the week prior.

The Wildcats also bounced back in a big way last weekend. After a disappointing 17-10 home loss to Tulane, K-State hit the road and upset a then top-10 Oklahoma team 41-34, cashing as a 13.5-point underdog as the Over hit.

Texas Tech at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas Tech 29, Kansas State 26

Money line

TEXAS TECH (+250) is worth a roll of the dice here. Even though they are moderate underdogs, the Red Raiders never go away quietly. In 2 of 3 games against FBS opponents, the game has gone to overtime and been decided by just 3 points. The Red Raiders have had a flare for the dramatic so far in 2022.

While Kansas State scored the huge upset last time out in Oklahoma, in its most recent game at home the Wildcats had that disappointing loss to Tulane. It is anything but a consistent group this season.

Against the spread

TEXAS TECH +7.5 (-110) is a strong play if you’re not quite feeling it straight up. The Red Raiders are just 1-6-1 ATS in their past 8 games after a cover in the previous week, so there is some risk here. Of course, K-State is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 following an ATS win, too, so the risk is mitigated somewhat.

While Texas Tech has struggled in this series against the number, the underdog is 5-0-1 ATS in the past 6 meetings.

Over/Under

The UNDER 56.5 (-107) is worth playing lightly.

The Over is 13-6-2 in the past 21 against winning teams for Texas Tech, but the Under is 4-1 in its past five on the road. The Under is also 3-0-1 in the previous four meetings in this series.

K-State’s recent history solidly points to the Under. The Under is 4-1 in the past 5 contests at BSFS, 8-3 in its last 11 games overall and 5-2 in its previous 7 inside the Big 12.
