Texas Longhorns vs Texas Tech Red Raiders Prediction, Odds and Picks - Pickswise

The Texas Longhorns will travel to Lubbock on Tuesday night for a Big 12 Conference game against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. This matchup is between 2 probable NCAA Tournament teams and is a great rivalry between 2 Texas schools. It will also be their last regular-season showdown before Texas heads to the SEC. The Red Raiders are 4.5-point favorites and I expect them to cover that spread at home.

Texas Tech is a great 11-1 at home this year and that is a major reason why I expect it to roll. The Red Raiders benefit from the best home-court advantage in the country according to KenPom and should be able to get it done against a Texas team that they have looked better than all year. The Red Raiders were able to beat the Longhorns by 11 points on the road earlier this season. I like Texas Tech to have great success from beyond the arc here since it is ranked #49 in 3-point percentage and the Texas defense is ranked #213 in that same category according to KenPom. The Longhorns’ defense is ranked #216 nationally in opposing 3-point percentage this year and are allowing teams to shoot an incredible 39.4 percent from deep when they are playing on the road, which is ranked #350 in the country. Let’s go with the Raiders to win and cover.

Texas Tech -4.5 available at time of publishing. Playable to -6.
