Oklahoma State at Texas Tech – Sports Betting Pick

The Big 12 South is loaded with solid teams yet again and Oklahoma State and Texas Tech both definitely qualify for that distinction heading into their sports betting matchup this weekend.

It’s the battle of a more pro-style offense with spread elements and a spread-based passing attack the likes of which fans saw much more during the mid-90′s to the late 2000′s for Texas Tech.

Which of these teams will come out with a much-needed victory on Saturday?

Oklahoma State Cowboys at Texas Tech Red Raiders

3:30 pm Saturday

College Betting Line: Texas Tech favored at -3

The Red Raiders are sometimes a tough team to bet on. They don’t have the running game to control the clock and while they have athletes on defense, they haven’t found the proper schemes to exploit their gifts and advantages over the past few years.

Shootouts are the norm, and while many teams get torched by them, other teams seem to be able to figure them out and walk out with shocking upset victories.

Rhythm is a big part of the Red Raiders offense as well and Taylor Potts has that in his favor at QB.

The task for the Oklahoma State defense will be to slow him down because if not he has shown he is capable of dropping 400 yards on just about anyone as the many great Texas Tech system QB’s of the past 10 years have done with ease.

Of course, that’s not likely to happen with the sports betting underdog Oklahoma State ranked number 82 in pass defense at this point in time.

The Cowboys will have to show something they haven’t all year but this is absolutely just a bad matchup for them.

Oklahoma State has the running game to keep this one close and keep Texas Tech’s offense off the field but in the end it won’t be enough because the Red Raiders simply have too much firepower through the air for the pokes in this one.

Texas Tech is catching OSU at the right time and it will show on the field in a big way on Saturday as the Red Raiders will bring home a big-time college football victory in a close one punctuated by a late-game score.

Sports betting pick: Texas Tech (-3).
