The Texas Tech Red Raiders play their best ball at home, but I’m not sure if that’s good enough for me to lay chalk in this spot. Texas Tech has had issues finishing games all year, and that defense leaves a lot to be desired. People keep waiting for the Kansas Jayhawks to come back to reality, but their offense is solid with a top-25 rushing attack and their scoring offense is 15th in the country. After waxing Oklahoma State, it shouldn’t surprise anyone if Kansas wins this game outright. Give me the points.
