The Houston Cougars (1-0) and Texas Tech Red Raiders (1-0) meet Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Houston vs. Texas Tech odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Cougars won a wild 37-35 game in 3OT on the road against UTSA in their opener, just missing the cover while the Over easily connected. QB Clayton Tune threw for 3 TDs and added another on the ground.
The Red Raiders had a much easier time with Murray State of the FCS, racking up a 63-10 win and cover as the Over cashed.
The win didn’t come without a price, however, as starting QB Tyler Shough was knocked out of the game in the 2nd quarter due to injury. He was spotted in a sling on the sidelines, and it was reported he will miss 3-6 weeks due to a collarbone injury. He suffered a similar injury last season against Texas.
