Texas Tech Red Raiders vs Oklahoma State Cowboys Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 11/23/24

The Texas Tech Red Raiders will travel north to Oklahoma to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys in a Big 12 conference game. Texas Tech is currently 6-4 with a record of 4-3 in conference. Their last game was a 41-27 loss against Colorado. The Red Raiders led this game early 13-0 in the 2nd quarter, but then lost all momentum. This game was closer in the end than the score entails. Colorado had a scoop and score in the final minute to push the lead to double digits. After a bye week since the loss, Texas Tech will get the chance to rebound against the Big 12’s last place team. This season has gone horribly wrong for the Cowboys. After starting 3-0, Oklahoma State has lost 7 straight games all in conference. They have looked uninspired in their last 3 games losing to Baylor by 10, Arizona State by 21, and TCU by 25.

The story for Oklahoma State this season has been any time their offense has been able to put up points and show a level of competitiveness, their defense gets in the way and can’t stop the opposing team. Oklahoma State has lost 4 games by 21 or more points this season because their defense has surrendered an average of nearly 500 yards a game and 31.9 points per game against them. This ranks them in second to last place in the conference in points allowed. The only team that is worse, the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Texas Tech has allowed on average 35.1 points per game but have paired that will an explosive offense that averages 35.5 points per game. Quarterback Behren Morton and running back Tahj Brooks have proven to be a lethal dual threat for the Red Raiders offense. I just don’t feel confident backing them considering their defense and that this game will be played in Oklahoma. Instead, I’ll back the over. Both offenses have proven they can run or pass, and each defense has proven they can’t stop either.
