🆚 Who will win Texas Tech vs. Arizona State today?

I’ve got Texas Tech winning this matchup as one of the nation’s more productive offenses should be able to put it on Arizona State (2-3-1 ATS). The Red Raiders have scored consistently in both home and away games this season.


✅ Best Texas Tech vs. Arizona State bet today

🏴‍☠️Texas Tech -7 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This should play out as a dealer’s choice in how the balanced Texas Tech offense wants to attack against the Arizona State defense. The Sun Devils rank 60th in FBS against the pass (221.6 yards per game), and have fared slightly better against the run (115.6 yards per game, 30th in FBS). But in ASU’s last game, Utah exploited it for 276 rushing yards.

The Red Raiders average 531.0 yards of total offense per game (2nd in FBS), and they’re balanced. The nation’s best team against the spread (6-0 ATS) can beat you with its 3rd-ranked passing attack or 18th-ranked rushing offense—regardless of where the game is played.

Red Raiders don’t mind a road trip

While Texas Tech’s scoring production has been diminished slightly in road games (34.5 PPG) compared to its overall numbers, the dominance against the spread has been consistent away from Lubbock. The Red Raiders are 2-0 ATS as the away team, covering by an average margin of 19.3 points per road game (2nd in FBS).

BetMGM, Caesars and bet365 all offer Texas Tech -7 with -110 odds, which we prefer compared to the -7.5 (+100) and -7 (-115) offerings from FanDuel and DraftKings, respectively. The implied probability at our preferred odds is 52.48% and the profit on a winning $10 bet would be $9.09.
