Texas Tech is 6-4 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 5-4 and OSU is 4-4 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 5-3.
A starting QB has not been named for OSU, but West Lunt and J.W. Walsh should be cleared to play and Clint Chelf played well in his first career start last week. Lead WR Josh Stewart had 172 receiving yards last week and TE Blake Jackson is averaging over 21 yards per catch this season. The Red Raiders have a good pass defense ranked 11th in the nation, but they have been torched on the ground in the last few games.
OSU RB Joseph Randle has rushed for over 100 yards in 6 games this season, but has not played great in the last couple of games. There is a good chance he will crack the 100-yard barrier again since the Tech run defense that has given up an average of 232.5 rushing yards per game in their last 4 games.

While the Red Raiders defense has struggled lately their offense is still playing well with QB Seth Doege and a solid WR corps leading the nation’s top-ranked passing offense. There is a good chance Doege will have another big game facing OSU and their 96th ranked pass defense.
The Red Raiders do not have a great rushing offense and while Kenny Williams has over 600 rushing yards he has only rushed for over 100 yards in 1 game this season. He will not likely make it 2 in this game since the strength of the OSU D is their run defense, which ranks a 26th in the nation.
In some betting trends for this Big 12 game Texas Tech is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and they have an Over record of 8-2 in their last 10 road games.
Oklahoma State is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win, and they have an Over record of 6-2 in their last 8 games facing teams with a winning record.
Jason’s Pick: OSU is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games facing Texas Tech and with the Red Raiders stumbling on D that trend will continue. Take the Cowboys to win this game and cover the spread.
