Michigan State Spartans vs Texas Tech Red Raiders Point Spread Picks

Texas Tech is 13-3 ATS its last 16 games, and it has won 13 of its last 14 outright. The Red Raiders defeated Gonzaga, 75-69, and the game went OVER by four points. This week's posted total is about eight points lower. These teams are underrated offensively as Texas Tech averages 47.1 percent shooting and 73.0 points per game compared to 48.4 and 78.3 for Michigan State. The Spartans managed to beat Duke, even though they had an off-shooting day and were outrebounded 41-30.  It was a huge emotional win for Tom Izzo and his team as he has had very little success against Mike Krzyzewski's squads over the years. Now the Spartans again will have to rise to the occasion mentally, and that won't be an easy task. Jarrett Culver led the Red Raiders with 19 points against Gonzaga as the Red Raiders made nine of 23 from 3-point range. Texas Tech has covered 10 of its last 11 against teams that have a .600 or better win-percentage, and it has covered its last five versus Big 10 teams. Also, the Red Raiders have gone OVER seven of their last 10 following a win. Take Texas Tech and the OVER.
