Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders Prediction
I’m on Texas Tech here. I know Arkansas has held their own in a lot of bigger games so far this season, but I think the Red Raiders are a different beast at this point as this is an extremely experienced group that has a lot of size and brought in one of the more talented transfer classes of the offseason. I think that Texas Tech gets it done here. Give me the Red Raiders.
