Analysis

Texas Tech has been a very inconsistent team this season, but they have won five of their last 10 games. Their offense is not particularly strong, but their defense ranks 23rd in the nation. Oklahoma, on the other hand, has struggled on both ends of the court, ranking 147th in scoring and 165th in points allowed.

Given Oklahoma’s struggles, the Red Raiders could easily come out on top in this game. But, the total seems to be the better bet here. In their last seven games, Oklahoma has gone over the total six times, while in their last 10 games, Texas Tech has gone over the total six times. Moreover, the total has gone under in all of the last 10 matchups between these two teams. Therefore, we predict that the total will go over 137.5 points.

Pick: Over 137.5
