Texas Tech vs Iowa State Betting Pick & Prediction – 11/2/2024

The Texas Tech Red Raiders are set to take on the Iowa State Cyclones on November 2, 2024. DraftKings Sportsbook has the Red Raiders listed as 14.5 point underdogs, with 75% of spread bets backing them. The Cyclones, on the other hand, have only garnered 25% of the bets. The total sits at 56.5 for this Big 12 rivalry game. This matchup is shaping up to be an intriguing clash between these two college football programs and here we break down this Texas Tech vs Iowa State matchup.

Texas Tech Looks to Snap Losing Streak

Texas Tech got off to a hot start to this season, winning five of its first six games. But they have fallen apart since then, losing two games in a row to fall to 5-3 overall and 3-2 in the Big 12. All of a sudden, the defense of Texas Tech has let them down again, as the Red Raiders have allowed 47 points per game in their back-to-back losses to Baylor and TCU. Given that Baylor and TCU aren't exactly the most impressive teams in the Big 12, this is a concerning trend for Texas Tech going into Saturday's game against Iowa State.

Iowa State Hoping to Remain Perfect

There are two undefeated teams remaining in the Big 12 this season, the BYU Cougars and the Iowa State Cyclones. Iowa State is 7-0 overall and 4-0 in the Big 12, though they survived a close call against UCF in their last outing. This week, the Cyclones come off of an idle week and will hope that the extra rest will help them to regroup and get an eighth win in a row. But offensive precision and avoiding turnovers will be the key as to whether or not that happens, as Iowa State should be able to score big as long as they don't give the ball away often.

Texas Tech vs Iowa State Prediction

Our best bet for this Texas Tech vs Iowa State matchup is for the over to hit from Ames. Iowa State should be able to do a ton of scoring in this game, but Texas Tech is by no means bad offensively themselves. Look for this game to get into the 60s from a scoring standpoint, as we should see plenty of fireworks from these teams in a game that should be decided by a number pretty close to the current point spread.
