Michael LaBarre
Straight Up (5-2): Texas Tech
Against the Spread (4-3): Texas Tech
Commentary: Look, the Red Raiders have had a problem with Iowa State for years now. I know it was ugly, and I know Kansas looked good with their new offensive coordinator against Texas, but I think the Red Raiders will bounce back this week with a victory in Lawrence. Let’s say 35-24. I’m usually bad with point totals.

Community Predictions:

Straight Up (3-4): 77% of y’all picked Texas Tech to win. Had faith after a good couple weeks, but unfortunately the Red Raiders didn’t meet expectations.
Against the Spread (4-3): 86% of y’all picked the Red Raiders to cover. It was probably a bad sign when Texas Tech fell behind 20-0 early, although they nearly covered in the fourth quarter after a turnover.
