The West Virginia Mountaineers will play the Texas Tech Red Raiders in a Big 12 Game on Saturday afternoon at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas.

The West Virginia Mountaineers are 3-3 (1-2) this season after they defeated Baylor by a score of 43-40 in their last game. West Virginia allowed 590 total yards, but was able to force four turnovers in the win. The West Virginia offense is averaging 38.7 points per game with 271 passing yards per game and 191.3 rushing yards per game. JT Daniels has thrown for 1,492 yards, nine touchdowns, and three interceptions for the Mountaineers this season. Tony Mathis Jr. has rushed for 459 yards and five scores, while Bryce Ford-Wheaton has caught 40 passes for 463 yards and four touchdowns for West Virginia. The West Virginia defense is giving up 31.3 points per game and 374.5 yards per game.

The Texas Tech Red Raiders are 3-3 (1-2) this season after they lost to Oklahoma State by a score of 41-31 in their last game. Texas Tech outgained Oklahoma State by a total of 527-434, but went 8-22 on third down attempts in the loss. The Texas Tech offense is averaging 34.3 points per game with 365 passing yards per game and 119.2 rushing yards per game. Behren Morton has thrown for 561 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions for the Red Raiders this season. Morton played the majority of the game against Oklahoma State, but Texas Tech has said they plan on playing three different quarterbacks. SaRodorick Thompson has rushed for 310 yards and two touchdowns, while Jerand Bradley has caught 24 passes for 317 yards and three scores for Texas Tech. The Texas Tech defense is allowing 29.8 points per game and 367 yards per game.

West Virginia is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 conference games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win. The over is 4-1 in West Virginia’s last 5 games on turf. Texas Tech is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games following a bye week and 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS win. The over is 5-1 in Texas Tech’s last 6 games. The road team is 5-2 ATS in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings.

Texas Tech has lost three of their last four games, while West Virginia has won three of their last four games, including two in a row. West Virginia has been playing great on offense, but their defense is allowing over 31 points per game. Texas Tech has some unknowns about the quarterback situation, but they do have one of the top passing attacks in the country. I like the over in this game.
