The College Football Conference Championship HoundS Sontounke In the shape of the US, and continues on Saturday with some beautiful Maste Masteps. The schedule kicks off with the Big 12 Championship between the Bayou Cougars (11-1) and the Texas Tech Red Railers (11-1). Texas Tech counts.
Let’s dive into my favorite picks for the Big 12’s biggest rivalry.
BYU Cougars vs. Texas Tech Riaders Railers Odds
Money Line: Byu +385 / Texas Tech -500
Spread: BYU +12.5 (-110) / Texas Tech -12.5 (-110)
Total: Over 49.5 (-110) / Under 49.5 (-110)
Byu Cougars vs Texas Tech Rialers Red Best Bet #1: Under 49.5 (-110)
The two teams squared off on November 8 in Lubbock, where Texas Tech was held to a 29-7 victory. The Red Raiders forced three turnovers and there’s no reason why they can’t do it again. After all, it is not. 2 Nationwide Takeaways this season with 27. This is simply great protection all around. Texas Tech gives up the fewest points per game at 11.3 (Ohio State and Indiana are higher in this department). Unit is Number After holding BYU to seven points, the Red Raiders limited UCF to nine points and wore West Virginia. Linebacker Jacob Rodriguez (ANNUAL FEEPECTIONS, FORDED FUMBLES) Could Get an Invitation to the Heisman Trophy Ceremony.
The Cougars’ defense is even part of the reason why points will be at a premium on Saturday. BYU is 14th nationally in scoring defense at 17.8 points per game allowed. It’s true that Texas Tech went for seven field goals in the first meetings between these two teams, but five of those drives ended up in the field and only its scoring drives took more than 59 yards. Only 36 points were scored in the first head-to-head matchup and another low-scoring contest could be on the cards.
Byu Cougars vs Texas Tech Rialers Red Best Player Player BET: Cameron DikKey over 86.5 rushing yards (-114)
While Byu’s defense is great, it’s less vulnerable against the run (119.0 rushing yards per game allowed at 3.7 yards per attempt). The Red Raiders had no problem moving the ball on the ground against the Cougars in November. Texas Tech was posted 129 yards, with 121 from Dikikey – who also scored a touchdown on 23 rushes.
That kind of success is nothing new for the sophomore from Austin, Tex., who has 1,023 rushing yards (the fastest total (the fastest, fastest, fastest you get). DICKey delivered a 263-yard performance earlier this year (October 11 against Kansas) and has gained at least 77 yards on three straight carries. Asking him to reach at least 87 marks this weekend shouldn’t be too much.
