Texas Tech vs. Kansas Prediction and Pick

It’s been established that both of these defenses are just awful.

What’s not entirely awful is Texas Tech’s offense. The Red Raiders are averaging 34.8 points per game, which is much better than the Jayhawks 17.2 points per game. 

Kansas’ one win came against FCS South Dakota, 17-14. In its four consecutive losses since, it allowed a low of 45 points to the Baylor Bears on Sept. 18th.

This game is most likely going to be a one-sided bloodbath. Maybe the Red Raiders can hit the over on their own.

I’m taking Texas Tech on the spread at -17.5 and over 67.5.
