NCAAF Week 13 Betting Trends – Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Oklahoma Sooners
The second-ranked team in the nation, the Texas Tech Red Raiders, travel to Norman, Oklahoma to take on the Sooners. How good has the Big-12 been this season? Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and Texas are all ranked in the top five. Sports betting fans have to seriously consider the strength of this conference when making online bets in what figures to be a very difficult game to find a winner.
Texas Tech has been sensational this season. Their offense is practically unstoppable and their defense has been playing better in recent weeks. Quarterback Graham Hall and wide receiver Michael Crabtree make up the top tandem in college football. BetUS online sportsbook betting fans have to like how the Red Raiders have stepped up each and every time they’ve had to.
The Oklahoma Sooners were considered one of the top teams in the nation until they lost to the Texas Longhorns. College football betting fans will note that the Sooners have worked their way up to number four in the polls. Should they beat the Texas Red Raiders, the Sooners could find themselves making an argument for that number two spot over the Florida Gators. The Sooners also have an unbelievable offense. This game looks like a shoot-out.
Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game.
Kick-off: 11/22/2008 8:00 pm est.

Oklahoma Sooners – 6 ½ – 110
Here are a few online wagering trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders are 5 and 1 against the spread versus a team with a winning record.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders are 0 and 4 against the spread in their last 4 games on grass.
The Oklahoma Sooners are 4 and 1 against the spread in their last 5 games on grass.
The Oklahoma Sooners are 6 and 2 against the spread in their last 8 conference games.
Will the Red Raider magic finally run out in this game? I have the feeling that it will. Texas Tech can pretty much score at will but so can Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a somewhat better defensive team than Texas Tech.
NCAAF Week 13 Prediction:
That’s why I believe that the best online bet to make is to lay the points and take the Sooners. They’re just as good as Tech offensively and have the better defense. That’s the online football bet that I’ll be making on the Oklahoma Sooners to cover the 6 ½ points against the spread.
