New Orleans Privateers vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders Prediction

I’m on the Red Raiders at home here. Texas Tech is in a foul mood after getting punked by Purdue, and while New Orleans beat Tulane and kept it close against Mississippi State, but going into Lubbock is a whole different ball game and this Red Raiders team is still loaded and I think Grant McCasland’s group is going to be ticked off and looking to take out some frustration. New Orleans is just in the wrong place at the wrong time here. Give me Texas Tech here in a blowout.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Texas Tech -25.5
