Kansas State vs Texas Tech Prediction & Pick

Texas Tech doesn't pose a threat to Kansas State this afternoon. The Red Raiders have looked horrible during their losing streak, averaging 65.0 PPG with a minus-9.5 scoring margin. On top of that, they're winless in Big 12 competition (0-6) and have lost each of their three road games thus far.

Meanwhile, Kansas State is a perfect 10-0 at Bramlage Coliseum, where it 77.0 PPG with a plus-15.8 margin. The Wildcats have also won 10 of their last 13 home games against the Red Raiders, holding the latter to 60 or fewer points in eight of those contests.

Considering how Texas Tech is also 0-5 as the underdog this season, Kansas State isn't in any danger of losing today.

Kansas State vs Texas Tech Best Bet

Backing Kansas State on the spread is the best bet for this game. While the Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in their last six outings, the Red Raiders are 1-4 ATS in their last five. Kansas State has also covered the spread in five of its six Big 12 contests thus far, whereas Texas Tech is 2-9-1 ATS in its last 12 against the conference.

With Texas Tech also failing to cover the spread in each of its last five meetings with Kansas State, the Wildcats have no excuse not to cover the 3.5-point spread.
