Texas Tech vs Arizona Prediction
I get Arizona has been arguably the best team in the country and is in a bounce-back spot after its first loss. Still, this line is disrespectful toward Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are a balanced team that can beat anybody in the country on any given night. You can also argue that Texas Tech will have the best player on the court. Since February of last year, Texas Tech is 4-0 ATS and 2-2 SU as an underdog of 6 or more points. This line is absolutely bonkers. Give me the points with Texas Tech.
