Betting on the Texas Tech Red Raiders
- Regular Season Record: 7-5
- Spread: -3.5
- Moneyline: +145
- Over/Under: 71
Of the last five games, the Texas Tech Red Raiders lost two (at home to the Baylor Bears by 45-17, and away to the TCU Horned Frogs by 24-34). The good thing is that after those two losses, they got back on their feet in great style: they won the next three games (at home against the Kansas Jayhawks by 28-43, away against the Iowa State Cyclones by 14-10, and at home against the Oklahoma Sooners by 48-51).
Going through the numbers, they average 33.6 points per game, and score an average of 29.5. In yards, they total 459.5 (307 were passing, and 152.5 were rushing); while in yards allowed, they total 414.5 (248.1 were passing, and 166.4 were rushing).
The man to watch is Donovan Smith, definitely, the quarterback with 1,505 yards and 12 touchdowns on the season.
Betting on the Ole Miss Rebels
- Regular Season Record: 8-4
- Spread: +3.5
- Moneyline: -170
- Over/Under: 71
The Ole Miss Rebels had a dismal regular season ending, as they lost four of their last five games. They only beat the Texas A&M Aggies by a close 31-28 as visitors, while the last game they lost, of course, 24-22 to the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
However, if we contrast their season numbers, they are better than Texas. In points scored, they average 34.2 per game and only concede 24.2. In yards, they total 491.3 (229.7 were passing, and 261.6 were rushing) and have allowed 379.8 (218 were passing, and 161.8 were rushing).
The man to watch is quarterback Jaxson Dart, who has 2,616 yards and 18 touchdowns.
JefeBet Prediction
This is an even match, and although the visiting team comes with three losses in a row, at JefeBet we believe that Ole Miss Rebels will win.
Prediction: Ole Miss wins and covers the spread.
