Arizona State Sun Devils vs. Texas Tech Red Raiders Prediction
I’m on Texas Tech here. I have to admit I may have given too much credit to Arizona State coming into the year and maybe sold stock too soon on Texas Tech. The Red Raiders look legit, especially defensively, and I think Arizona State could have some trouble in this matchup. I think that the Red Raiders win this one by margin, so give me the Red Raiders here.
