Kansas at Texas Tech

The Texas Tech Red Raiders are a fun team to watch! They play at break-neck speed, and have averaged over 60 points per game this season. The problem is the fact that in their two games vs. FBS teams, they have allowed 56.5 ppg. A bigger problem is the fact that they have out-gained their pair of FBS opponents by just 25 yards per game. The awful defense is going to make it very difficult for them to cover over a four TD spread. Kansas has not scored a lot vs. teams with a decent to good defense. They did put up 55 against Rhode Island, so they have proven when they get up against a sub-par defense and answer with points of their own. The Kansas strength is a pass defense that allows 4.8 yards per attempt vs. teams that average 6.4. They are certainly capable of holding Texas Tech down from their season average in this game. Kansas has not been a good team for several years, but the one thing they have been consistently done well is covering against poor defensive teams. The Jayhawks own a 24-11 ATS mark in their last 35 games vs. a team that allows 31 points or more per game. They will have ample opportunities to stay within range of an inflated point spread. Make the play on Kansas.
