In their last games Texas Tech lost to Texas 31-22 and Kansas lost to Baylor 41-14.
On the season Kansas is 3-5-1 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 2-6 and Texas Tech is 6-3 ATS and they have an Over/Under record of 4-4.
Tech has won 12 of their 13 games facing Kansas.
The Red Raiders have the 4th best passing offense in the nation led by Seth Doege and he has a slew of targets at his disposal. He may have another big game since the Kansas pass defense ranks 78th in the nation and in their last game facing Baylor they gave up nearly 370 yards in the air.
Obviously the strength of the Red Raiders is their passing attack, but RB Kenny Williams has rushed for 575 yards on the season. He has rushed for over 100 yards in 2 games this season and it may be 3 after this game facing a Jayhawks’ rushing D that ranks 95th in the nation. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Dayne Crist and Michael Cummings split time under center for the Jayhawks in the loss to Baylor and since Cummings is a freshman and since Crist is a senior and the season is lost for Kansas he may get the start.
The only way that Kansas pulls off the huge upset is if they run the ball well, which they can do. The Jayhawks have averaged over 190 rushing yards per game and James Sims has rushed for over 100 games in 5 games straight. He will be facing a Red Raiders run defense that played well in the first half of the season and ranks 28th in the nation, but in their last 3 games they have given up 540 rushing yards.
In some betting trends for this Big 12 game Kansas is 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 road games, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss, and they have an Under record of 8-3 in their last 1 conference games.
Texas Tech is 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record and they have an Under record of 5-1 in their last 6 home games.
Jason’s Pick: The Jayhawks have been smoked in their last 3 road games facing teams with a good offense and that will continue, as the Red Raiders will light up the scoreboard and win and cover.
