Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Oregon State Beavers Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. I was truly left underwhelmed by Texas Tech and for a Red Raiders team that historically has had explosive offenses, this one looks like it could be one of the more subdued offenses in the Big 12 this season. On the other side, I think Oregon State is one of the worst teams in the country and I think this could be another long season in Corvallis. I’ll rock with the under in this one.
