NCAAF lines have Oklahoma as 5.5-point home favorites with a total of 58.<\/p>\n<p>In their last games Texas Tech beat Iowa State 24-13 while Oklahoma lost to Kansas State 24-19.<\/p>\n<p>This season Oklahoma is 1-2 ATS with an Over\/Under record of 0-2 and Texas Tech is 4-0 ATS with an Over\/Under record of 1-2.<\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"CFB Picks\" href=\"\/handicappers\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>CLICK TO GRAB OUR BEST Expert CFB Picks for 2012 NCAA FOOTBALL Betting!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This is the Texas Tech we are used to seeing with the nation&#8217;s 5th ranked passing offense, but they also have a solid D ranking 7th in the nation. However, their opponents this season have been Northwestern State, Texas State, New Mexico, and Iowa State.<\/p>\n<p>QB Seth Doege leads the Red Raiders and against Iowa State he passed for over 330 yards with 3 TD and 2 INT. His top 2 targets of Eric Ward and Javon Bell are averaging over 14 yards per reception and while Oklahoma has the nation&#8217;s 2nd ranked pass defense they have not played a team with a good passing offense this season.[soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The reason OU lost to KSU was that they could not stop the run and they only rank 66th in the nation in run defense. RB&#8217;s Kenny Williams and Eric Stephens Jr. will have to play well in this game and each is averaging over 6 yards per carry this season.<\/p>\n<p>Landry Jones had a good game against Kansas State passing for 298 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT and he has a solid WR corps. However, he will need help from the rushing offense, which struggled in the loss to Kansas State.<\/p>\n<p>Like Oklahoma Texas Tech has not faced a team with a good passing offense, but they still have the nation&#8217;s top ranked pass defense and their run defense ranks 12th.<\/p>\n<p>In some betting trends for this Big 12 match up Oklahoma is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games, and they have an Under record of 5-0 in their last 5 games.<\/p>\n<p>Texas Tech is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall, 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record, and they have an Over record of 7-2 in their last 9 vs. a team with a winning record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jason&#8217;s Pick:<\/strong> The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games between these 2 teams, but that trend will not continue in this game. Tech has not played a good team yet and against OU I think they will get killed, as the Sooners will win on the road and cover the spread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OU vs Texas Tech Odds &amp; Prediction Oklahoma (2-1) is coming off their first loss of the season and they are now 0-1 in Big 12 play.
